Just daydreaming

You know what I like to think about sometimes? A naval gun, like on a battleship, big 16 inch guns. But instead of firing once or twice per minute, like they usually do, they fire at 6000 rounds per minute, like a vulcan cannon. 100 per second. Can you imagine how you'd feed 100 rounds ever second, if they're 16 inches tall. That means you're going through 130 feet of shells ever second (well, if you stored them in a line). And can you imagine what the muzzle of the gun would look like, and what the ship would feel, and what would happen to the target?
What if they invented it? I know it's silly, but what if? The Naval Vulcan Cannon. There isn't really anything out there that needs to be hit in the same place with more than three or four of those shells, but when they come along with something that needs more than that, well, we'll be ready. OH, and if the ship gets into trouble, they could just point all their cannons in the same direction and fire repeatedly, and they'll be propelled at quite a good speed in the opposite direction. Why don't you do an episode on that, Bill Nye? That'd be a great episode, the physics of the Naval Vulcan Cannon. Oh, silly thoughts like that mean it's bedtime.
