Im too retarded to imagine the entire families of missile / counter-missile tech that would have to be introduced. All I know is dumb projectiles are only useful against planet like targets, which cant maneuver even a bit.
Only issue with phages is they are relatively large compared to a single molecule antibiotic, so phages have trouble penetrating into some tissues. Great treatment otherwise.
Look at this nigger trying to pull himself further and further into a cocoon of faggptry. You started out claiming warships had a ballistic trajectory, then when you got told off for being wrong you brought up ICBM and now fucking payload rockets. Ballistic trajectories arent helpful if the target can maneuver and change their trajectory by non ballistic means.
No i mean in the vacuum chamber that a modern railgun is made of. The 3km/s is an optimistic muzzle velocity, real world railguns are lower in speed.
You know fuckall about engineering. If you had such a device you wouldnt need an orbital cannon you tranny cunt. Thats waaaaay beyond escape velocity, you could shoot things in orbit from the ground.
Quad negro. I look forward to you madposting about leafs in every random thread for the next six months :^)

This already happens every time someone gets shot. QED. Here we go, more bullshit arguments based on the current state of the art in railguns rather than the technology's future potential. There is no theoretical limit to the muzzle velocity of a railgun in space. Power supply/heat rejection and the length of the railgun are the only limitations. Your 3km/s figure is asspull and you can stop using it now. Repeated reminder that if the baseline is today's technology, that means lasers are equally useless as weapons. They could never vaporize target material at the distances involved in space combat, while even the shittiest railgun could deliver a disabling hit at those distances given enough attempts. Not an issue, see above. Never said that, read the post again faggot. I never said anything about an orbital cannon. Try looking at post IDs you pozzed dindu. At that speed, a kinetic slug would vaporize in the atmosphere before it reached space. But even so this isn't connected to my argument in any way. My one and only claim is that kinetic weapons will be an essential part of space combat in general for fundamental physical reasons.
And don't worry, I won't hold your appalling ignorance against all Canadians.

Something along the lines of a casaba howitzer might get it to a meaningful percentage of c, I can't find it right now but I know I saved a screencap of user talking about a soviet memeweapon what was basically a nuke floating in a concrete chamber with a copper projectile on top
One, the GAU-8 uses aluminum casings to save weight. Two, the GAU-8 does not eject spent casings. It simply keeps them on the belt and runs them back into the magazine because ejecting runs a risk of ingesting your own casings.

Oh I'm sorry, my mistake You are still retarded.
A single round at 200 mach would melt any barrel material known to man, or hypothesized by man. A fucking 50-100 years in the future we expect railguns to launch six rounds per minute with a thousand round shelf life. And this at velocities a fucktonne below 200 mach.
So how far in the future are you looking to find railguns firing a thousand rounds per minute of two hundred mach projectiles? A thousand fucking years?
Oh I'm sure you could make it out of some imaginary material that can shoot through a black hole you fucking faggot.
IF YOU PUT YOUR RETARDED DEVICE ON CERES AND FIRED IT CONTINUOUSLY, YOU COULD INDUCE A FUCKING SPIN TO A PLANETOID.
The fuck out of this thread. >>>/strek/

Where's your proof?

Aiming isn't 100% precise, but it's damn close. The Hubble telescope achieved an aiming precision of .002 arcseconds(I used .005 in my math to make it a bit easier) at its peak, which according to this site, is the width of a hair at 1 mile. Thats .00008 MOA. At one mile, thats the width of a human hair. At 30,000 kilometers, thats 27.34 inches. ==27.34 inch group at 30,000 miles== when i used 1.5x the actual maximum accuracy of the Hubble telescope stsci.edu/hst/HST_overview/documents/multidrizzle/ch42.html
My point with re-entry was to stress how important accounting for recoil was.
Google 'recoil impulse'. Unit is lb-sec. Kinetic energy measurements alone are USELESS when talking about space maneuvers. Momentum change is whats important.
My micrometeorite number was pulled from the wiki page on the ISS's space debris shielding. The size doesn't matter all that much, its mass and speed.
You're confusing the americans in this convo, there are three of us. I never used the word warship, i said spacecraft. Other user brought up icbms. Stop being such an enormous fucking faggot canadian. Yes, there will be 6 months of anti-canadian shitposting because of you.
This isn't a 'proof?' thing, you're just as retarded as the canuck. Heat from atmospheric friction goes up with velocity cubed, not squared. I can't find/remember the exact equation rn, but reentry heating in the upper atmosphere at mach 20 is in excess of 6,000 degrees. While atmospheric reentry friction and rail friction are different, it should give you an idea on the amount of heat energy that will end up in those rails.
nobody has told me how a defending satellite will know it's even under attack, let alone from what direction or by what
Too bad Gundam doesn't have well thought out stories. Tomino is too autistic to write characters that act like real people. Also Gundam's setting is mostly a ripoff of Robert Heinlein novels. I still love Gundam, but Macross is better. Patlabor is better than both, but it's not a space anime and therefore irrelevant to this thread.
