Damn, I didn't realize the guns on planes were that powerful. Reading up on it more, these autocannons can fire so fast they can use up all the ammunition a plane carries in 1.5 seconds. Talk about overkill, lol.
For fun, I decided to look up what gun produced the most recoil of all time. Turns out it's a Nazi made gun. Recoil was 5,112,000 kg·m/s. To put it into perspective, the recoil force of an AR-15 is 1.5 kg-m/s. Crazy.

You mean artillery piece? The Paris Gun perhaps? Or Dora/Gustav? Maybe the V-3 "Millipede"?
I think the Gerald Bull Guns were way up there too.
Having new units of measure not in metric would definitely irk the "anything but metric" crowd.
It could be converted to imperial, technology and physics wouldn't change, just the system of measurement
Could is commie talk. Yes sirere we don't move a centimeter from our righteous American Standard. It's got American in the title, for Pete's sake
Good point!
Elon musk needs to get busy researching this field of transportation ASAP
