<<that's a shaped blob of liquid copper at 15,000 ft/sec (11,000 miles/hr), a 'kinetic' payload that cuts right through the tank.>> Liquid copper? That's new to me. Years ago I read about a "rail gun" that used copper on electric rails to get fantastic projectile speed. I've done some reloading and shooting years ago. The 3" 12 gauge deer slug shooting copper through a rifled barrel had great penetration. I tried one reload with my 7mm magnum, stuck in a big charge with a 120 grain lead bullet. The target looked like it was hit with a shotgun. I backed if off a bit after that.
