Looky here - the fastest gun in the West

A GUN that fires coin-size pellets 10 times faster than a bullet has been developed in America.
The Z accelerator could fire a pellet from London to Edinburgh in 26 seconds, or from London to New York in four and a half minutes. It is outpaced only by a nuclear explosion.

It has been nicknamed the "fastest gun in the West". Marcus Knudson, who led the project to develop the Z accelerator at Sandia, an American nuclear laboratory, said that description was an understatement. "It's the fastest gun in the world."
