Hmm... I recall this conversation before, I think. But for the benefit of CmusTARD here we go...
CmusTARD, go to the local gym, gather 17lbs of dead weight and pick it up (if you can lift it) By hefting it you will get a good idea of what 17 lbs actually is.
Good...... Now.......
Imagine that much weight being shaped into a 3 inch dia. AP round. About roughly the diameter of a beer can (give or take)
Outstanding, are the cables cranking yet? Getting a good visual here?
Now, we take this 17 lb., 3 in. diameter AP object and hurl it at a target at a velocity between 300- 1300 fps. (Depending on distance to target, and minute environmental factors, etc)
(For this next part, I will speak slowly and use small words so you can understand.)
It is going to DEVASTATE most objects it make contact with.
ADVISORY!
Don't trade rounds with a Firefly unless you are almost certain that it is a one shot-one kill situation!
ADVISORY #2
Listen to Lusche.
Congratulations, you've been pwned by a Sherman.
End of MSG.
OINK!!!
