Run-of-the-mil machine gun ammo runs about .2 mils or so.

Good medium-caliber ammo, APDS .

Xabo projectile shoots about 0.3, 0.35.

And that's actually in the big scheme of things, comparing them to other full bore bullets in medium cal.

That's actually very good dispersion.

Okay.

So, you know, I hear small cal guys crabbing about, oh, yeah, it's just over one MOA gun.

And it's like, you don't realize how good you've got it.

Destructive device, blah, blah, blah.

0.34 mil radians.

Now, that's one standard deviation.

Yeah.

So I worked on, if folks are familiar with a Mark 15 gun mount, it's a 20 millimeter Gatling gun firing a bullet.

designated the Mark 244 at about 4,500 shots a minute.

And I worked both on the ammunition for that and the barrels for that.

And, you know, it shoots pretty good for a Gatling gun.

Yep.

Well, last, last ditch, you know, you're, you got a missile coming in and you got to, you got to not only hit it, you got to function the warhead because otherwise you've got a live warhead on the ship.

Right.

Best case, you got a live warhead on the ship.
