I allways wondered, because the momentum that pushes them out of the barrel must be stronger than the one they have when they impact a target? so how do barrel launched grenades or paintsballs or other similar projectiles work?
In: 2
Because the full force of the projectile isn’t hitting the sides of the barrel.
When you shoot a paintball out of a paintball gun, the paintball is just barely skimming the barrel, so there’s just a bit of friction going on.
Compared to when it hits someone and suddenly comes to a dead stop.
It’s like a car accident where the car just scraps alongside the road barrier, vs a car accident where the car plows straight into a solid wall or big tree and stops instantly.
