How did this get away from throwing bullets at people and rolling tires over them onto something like this?
I think I'm going to create a gun that fires rope, or knives.
THEN you'll all see....yes, then you certainly will see!

Now that you mention it Drew, they do!
When I was a soldier in the Army, I was a gunner in a towed Artillery unit (REDLEGS). We could shoot a 155mm howizter 18-24 miles and hit a target within 50 meters at that range.
Anyway, we have the coolest rounds. We had of course the :
HE round - High explosive. Kill radius - 50 meters Standard
We had fuses to blow the round up at impact, after impact, or at a time, or near a metal object.
Gas rounds, all kinds of gas rounds. GB, Mustard, etc
We had the White Phosphorus round, shot fire out the back, for burning troops and equipment.
We had the Flares, lots of different flares.
We had the RAP round, Rocket assisted Projectile with laser guided accuracy.
We had the anti-personnel round, shot fish hook type metal shards out the back. We have used those a lot in these last two wars.
My favorite, the mine field round. It would hit the ground and would eject a net with mines out. Anyone stepping into the net would set off the mines. The mines would blow on their own after 2 hours.
And we had Nuclear Rounds. They would destroy a zone of 1000 meters x 1000 meters, and damage 3X that. There are lots of those rounds still around. I never got to fire any, and kinda glad I didn't. But you can bet if you see our troops with a cannon, they have one or two of those around them somewhere. Those weapons were used as last resort, and authorized only by the President.
So there is 200 years of technology wrapped up in todays firearms too.
