This has been confirmed by high-velocity guns used for impact experiments, and more recently by computer simulations.
These long-barrel, high-velocity guns were chosen to compensate for the smaller 381 mm shell as compared to the 406 mm gun originally desired.
Indeed, one is destroyed almost immediately, caught in the crossfire between a high-velocity heavy gun and the 80cm Hellbore fired by a light mobile tracked destroyer.
The D-10 is a 100mm high-velocity gun, with a 53.5 caliber length barrel.
The D-10 is a high-velocity gun of 100 mm bore diameter, with a barrel length of 53.5 calibres.
Traditional high-velocity anti-tank guns were very inefficient when employed as field artillery firing explosive rounds in support of the infantry.
In comparison, high-velocity anti-tank guns over-penetrated soft targets, while smaller caliber weapons could not carry as great a payload.
Ram accelerator, a high-velocity gun that uses different principles to achieve similar projectile velocities.
Combustion light gas gun, a high-velocity gun that uses combusted gas as propellant.
For more firepower, street criminals relied on machine pistols and other high-capacity, high-velocity guns.
