You mean a laser?
Matthew Howard
but could we invent a bullet that travels at C - 0.00...1 MPH?
Connor Watson
Look up the triple neck terror round.

In theory, but good luck finding:

JUst use electromagnets to propel it and make it out of platinum (the strongest metal).

>electromagnets
This guy never heard of mass effect fields.

Theoretically speaking it's possible, but realistically speaking it's impossible to contain the fusion-bomb-tier energies you would need to rapidly accelerate a projectile to relativistic speeds.
Luke Long
This is a really rudimentary calculation since I never took physics past high school, but if we were to get a particle as light as 0.01 milligrams to travel at even a tenth the speed of light, and we assume 100% of the energy generated is kinetic energy, the gun would need to generate about 4.49e6J (3.31e6 foot-pounds) of energy; for reference, according to Wikipedia, "a 180-grain (12 g) bullet fired from .357 magnum handgun can achieve a muzzle energy of 580 foot-pounds force (790 J)"

But that's diamonds.
Hunter Collins
And with the recoil,you'd probably end up on mars.
Asher Carter
Laser beams are more likely pal
Gavin James
>diamonds
>metal
umm
Mason Kelly
that's why we build our very own death star
Elijah Russell
>he failed high school science
Mason Anderson
I thought the strongest metal was Dragonforce?
Jaxson Thomas
diamonds are not a metal
Caleb Morris
This is bait, right?
Austin Ramirez
are you fucking kidding me?
what's next, the sky isn't blue? retard.

dumbass

You misspelled gloryhammer

Tyler Morales
basically just stand in the large hadron collider
Brayden Martinez
Yes, diamonds
Tyler Murphy
projectiles traveling at even a fraction of the speed of light colliding with something would be insanely devastating. Go read about RKVs, aka Relativistic Kill Vehicles.
