Faith.

EDIT: having reread the Mission 15 thread, I think it's fully eligible for a Ron Burgundy award, as the incident happened in less than 6 turns.
That escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

[Kedly]

Stan DID escalate to the sky pretty quickly as well

[Xantalos]

Yeah, but.
It was going so smoothly (well apart from Dubley freaking out and getting assbeat by everyone), and then...
STAN

[Kedly]

I honestly was worried Dubly was going to cause an incident as well. Especially since Dubly started freaking out about the same time as mission 14 had it's mass team kill

[Xantalos]

The funny thing is I was actually acting much less deranged than I normally did.

[Kedly]

Yeah, Xan didn't warrant any suspicion from Vincent before the Stan incident occurred. Stacy on the other hand xD

[Xantalos]

Well he was just a fun guy to be around.

I already designed a sorta power fist.

Is a gauss piston on the top of you arm that fires into the back of an amp when you punch stuff.

Really? Does it work well? I suppose it uses Unconventional skill?
On side note, maybe there should be a wikipage for all tinker creations, succesfull or not.

its untested but promising, and probably uncon. i want to eventually make one dexterity based though.
anyone know the squared kinetic energy of a 20mm ferromagnetic slug travelling at hypersonic velocities?

Edit: assuming tungsten bullets are used, a few quick and probably wrong calculations reveal that the kinetic energy for a standard gauss shot ranges from 44,186.806 Joules to 176,230.798 Joules depending on the actual hypersonic velocity involved. as reference, faiths sub orbital death drop would have released about 13,720 Joules of energy before the amp kicked in and 188,238,400 Joules afterwards.

err... fuck... if my math isn't horribly wrong i am so glad i didn't have the cash to buy and test one of these things...

E=mv²/2

Estimate the mass as, what, 5 kg? And velocity in meters per second... speed of sound is 340 m/s, let's say v=400. So that's (5)(400)²/2, or 400 000 N. Squared, that's 160 000 000 000 N, or ~38.25 tons of TNT. 3 of those is slightly weaker than the 1/8th kiloton nuke from the armory (114.75 tons to 125 tons).

EDIT: Ninja'd by your edit, but I'll leave this here.

It might be good idea to power it down...

[Unholy_Pariah]

...one sec.

[swordsmith04]

1 ton of TNT is 4.184 gigajoules, according to Wikipedia.

[Harry Baldman]

I propose that instead of 'kiloton' in explosives we use 'teracalorie' from now on. Like the '1/8th teracalorie nuke'. Or the 'pettacalorie nuke'. Or just start labeling them on the Richter scale!

[Unholy_Pariah]

Yay ive sorta got my equation working. It now reads as 7 tons instead of 0.7 tons, im so happy.
