|    Tandem Kinetic Penetrators vs Whipple Sh    |
|    31 Mar 17 13:45:17    |
      From: adam.w.krajewski@gmail.com              So, this little idea came to me when designing my warship, and I think it's       interesting topic to consider in a new thread, how about using a tandem       kinetic warhead to puncture the whipple shield? The projectile is launched,       and when it's near the target,        it divides into two parts by small rocket (that's to have a small gap between       two hits), and, when first hit makes a hole in first layer and weakens the       second, the second hit goes through the hole in first layer, and hits the       weakened second layer, and        still has some energy to deal damage behind the armor.       Any thoughts?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
