30 mm cannon
What effect would a 30 mm round fired by ME 262 have on a human?
shareIn like two clean shots in the ribs? like hot nail tru butter i guess. Are you wondering if the human would explode like a watermellon? Human body its not made of homogeneous matter. The bullet goes tru plane, tru cloth, tru bone, tru sof tissue (that gots smushed to pulp), bone again. Probably the searing heat of the shell makes the wound painless, at first. The smashed soft tissue, plasma and blood fills the cavity. Then shock comes when the lung got goes down in hemorrage and the chest muscles cramp trying to breath. Panic rises heart pulse. If you are lucky the other lung colapses and you faint before plane crashes.
shareThese were 420g explosive rounds, each roughly the equivalent of a hand grenade.
These rounds were roughly 60% heavier than the 9-ounce projectiles fired by the US 40mm grenade launcher used in Vietnam and since.
Live long and prosper.
