I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.

In theory, if you froze some metal in with a frogball, you could actually launch them using a mass driver.

Well, they would still be solid if you could encase them in a ball.
Or perhaps if Cirno could freeze them into a hard enough density....

Just make it a very long mass driver, so the impulse on the brittle ice would be lower.

>>209405
Sounds like a good idea (killer isicles from space) except they'll break apart INSIDE a standard mass driver and damage it. Also if the target has an atmosphere, it is likely the ice would evaporate like on a comet on entry.
The chemical composition would create a beautiful light show, but the impact which causes damage would be from the metal inside.

>> No.209439

>>209417

Ah, wait, it just dawned upon me that if a frog ball could survive a trip through a coilgun, it would be likely be electrified shards of ice flying through the air.

It would make a pretty good shotgun.

>> No.209445

>>209439
A coil gun doesn't actually give much charge to the projectile does it? Also the projectile needs to be ferromagnetic in order to be used in the coilgun, so a metal core would be needed.

>> No.209455

>>209445

I figure the ice would be melting and turning into water during the trip, and thus assuming both the gun and the frog survive, the water should have transfered the little charge there was.

>> No.209465

>>209455
The coupling is electro magnetic, not electrical charge - so there's no charge to transfer from the outside to in. Of course the projectile might have an electrical charge (negative or positive) compared to the target as well, but I don't think there would be enough to actually see any effects. The coil gun stimulates a magnetic field, but not charge.

Sorry, you're correct
I was thinking of a railgun

>> No.209478

>>209470
No biggie. Most anime with "rail guns" in them actually have coilguns anyway, or some other gun which magically works.

This got me thinking more about electric potential still, so it gives me some ideas.

As an aside, I have some training with directing and hooking up cargo to helicopters. The first thing we do before touching the hook is to ground it with a wire - the helicopter builds up some electrical charge which seeks ground. Nice to know in case you want to play James Bond and enter a helicopter before it has set down on the ground - also watch your toes.
