For a three mile range with an unaerodynamic 125kg dead Italian, he's going to have to go about two miles (3000m, 10,000') AMSL. |
|
|
Even neglecting air resistance, vertical launch velocity needs to be at least 250m/s, at 45 degrees that's nearer 350 m/s. |
|
|
So the device - which presumably relies entirely on stored mechanical energy - is going to accelerate a 125kg mass to 350m/s (350m/s is about 850 mph, more than Mach 1) and be transportable on a truck. |
|

Let's see... desecrating a corpse, preventing a proper burial, littering, violating controlled airspace, posession of a dangerous projectile weapon, oh, and murdering fat Italians ... what's not to like ? [+] |
|
|
In fewer words, try a rocket assist. |

|
(+) for the quote on your homepage... the idea, not so much. |

|
A prep stage prechamber is needed. During the drive, the
body is exsanguinated and chopped into manageable pieces to
lighten the per-shot weight. Then the pieces can be launched
individually. |
|
|
Liquid nitrogen. Freeze it, trim it, launch it from a cannon feet first. |
|
|
This is obviously what drones were invented for. Attach body, set it to fly out to sea until the batteries run out. |

|
In the near future, you could murder someone, sit them in their self-driving car and make it drive them to mexico, or off a pier (which may equate to the same thing if you're starting in britain). |
|
|
[mixtela] I think the tricky part will be to get the self
driving car to drive off the road. |
|
|
Not that I think there won't be at least a few instances of a
self driving car leaving the road, but those events will be
somewhat random and hard to reproduce on demand. |

Load a Microshit OS. Running away into the tall grass comes as standard. |

"A prep stage prechamber is needed. During the drive,

|
|
EXCELLENT use the past tense of exsanguination... Certainly
one of the leaner nations. |

1. Body goes in the trunk. Car starts driving. |
|
|
2. In-trunk masticator slices/dices the corpse into, say,
.5-inch cubes. |
|
|
3. Blood and other fluids are diluted and sprayed out in a
fine mist from a nozzle at the side of the car, or mixed in
with vehicle exhaust. |
|
|
4. The cubes are individually ejected at, say, quarter-
mile intervals. |
|
|
5. Wife drives car, discovers odd smell coming from trunk.
6. CSI team investigates leftover hairs and other odd
dna bits in trunk. 7. The pen gets one more inmate. |
|
|
Rayford Steele... The odd smell coming from the trunk may
well be Puzzolente Formagia, (smelly cheese) The victim's
niece. |

So you're out fishing late at night, and suddenly a nasty,
funky smelling, dead body lands in your boat? Hmmm, Ok,
that would make for a good story to tell the kids. + |
|
|
"I'm telling you guys, it was THIS BIG <spreads arms wide> and it jumped right into the boat... didn't even have to net it ! It was AWESOME ! But I was already up to my bag limit, so I had to throw it back ... got a pic here on my phone mind you, shame it's a bit blurred... yeah, sure I'll have another beer... " |
|
|
so what's wrong with the traditional methods? |
|
|
step 1. convince vic.. ah.. "client", to sit in barbers chair - step 2 slice throat under guise of shaving said "clients" stubbly bits - step 3 present corp.. sorry, "client" to Mrs Lovett, with compliments. |
