The only rules I have is that it must shoot the shot faster than 500m/s, and that it can't waste propellant. I'm genuinely curious to know if this is even possible. I accidentally wasted an entire 3 hours trying to make one that fit the criteria with no success yet. Apparently guns shooting rubber ALWAYS waste propellant so far, so maybe a bug?

Is that even possible

Look at that stick shooting megaslugs |

SO its kind of a .. giant space riot control gun ? Do we have water in the mods section ? Can we shoot water ?  |

Ice might kill the space kraken , not disable it  . |

Rubber Slugs  |

I like the effort, but technically a payload isn't shooting pure rubber. If the thing didn't have the explosive core, you would've won. |

They should have used a radiation shield made of nitrile rubber instead. Of course this defeats the point of the challenge that there is likely a bug on how the 'propellant is being wasted' warning is determined. |

I mean, even the radiation shield would have to be encased in something that's not rubber... So I guess I'm kind of happy I found such an obscure bug I guess.
Science isn't about why, but why not, right?

Science isn't about why, but why not, right? You don't have to armor payloads. And even if you have to you could armor it with more rubber. |

I'm more referring specifically to the Sabot that's required in the gun in order for the slug to be shot. You can't do it with straight rubber apparently (and slightly supprisingly not due to heat melting the projectile/sabot). Edit: To be honest, a rubber payload of any description completely slipped my mind at the time. |
