|    Plasma DEW effects    |
|    25 Aug 16 15:33:51    |
      From: adam.w.krajewski@gmail.com              So, I was thinking about effect of plasma hit on human. In my variation of       plasma weapon, plasma is tungstenium or any other heavy metal, flies at 200       km/s, and is squeezed by handwavium powerful magnetic "bubble", that works in       vacuum and atmosphere. So,        except containing the plasma bolt, it's quite possible, right?        Tungstenium is dense, bolt travels at high velocity, so can it give a kinetic       punch to target? If yes, how strong will it be? I don't know how dense this       plasma might be, need help with that. Bolt dimensions will be, let's say,       0.5cmx50cm cylinder.        I don't know if there is even a way too calculate all of this...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
