ORIGINAL: Real0ne Ok are you familiar with thermite? i can run through it if you like but the one word nutshell version is that it works in the same way as thermite only in a projectile. nasty way to die. Way wrong, go to the back of the class and re-take physics 101 and chemistry 101. Thermite is a chemical reaction to produce heat, the slug in a modern anti-tank round uses friction to generate the heat required quote:
i know you did not say evaporated, if you look back you will see that i said something to the effect of: "*if* you" are trying to say...<snip> emphasis on the "if". Lead starts getting nice and warm above mach 4 and lead starts to melt at about 700 deg. Physics 101 again, lead will not melt at mach 4 underwater, nor will it melt at mach 4 in a jupiter orbit* quote:
Bradley's are hardened steel? i didnt know that. The vehicle hull is of aluminum construction, one of the points used by critics to deride the vehicle. Aluminium armor tends to vaporize in the face of HEAT warheads; this and the prodigious storage of ammunition in the vehicle initially raised questions about its combat survivability. Spaced laminate belts and high hardness steel skirts have been added to later versions to improve armor protection at the cost of overall weight increasing to 33 tons. source wikipedia, verfied by a copy of Janes I have handy heat is heat whether produced by friction or flame its heat the melting action is the same. i did not say lead melts at mach 4 i said it gets nice and warm and starts to melt at 700 degrees. Ok so now its aluminum, i though someone said hardened steel? Yeh there ya go the wiki explains in mega detail... The point i was trying to make on that was that thermite is metal melting metal, the hole starts big and gets smaller as it goes deeper etc etc
