I have to agree Jack, mach 7 for a gun. I'll have to remember to look for their test results next year.

Thats one crazy gun. Black powder will become a thing of the past as the tech gets smaller.

If it's going at Mach7, I'm guessing that's a pretty flat trajectory.
Assuming it's mounted about 20m off sea level, its horizon is only about 10 miles away, so wtf are they going to aim at
At least the old battleships used to lob it up and let gravity do the rest. If these guys aim that high, they'll be hitting satellites
