| #10 Methinks we should name it for either Sobieski or San Diego de Campostella... Maybe Ferdinand of Aragon. You know someone that beat the britches off the Moors/Turks/Arabs and whose name sending thousands to mosques in fear. |

| #6 But it would be awesome if we could get all the ISIS guys to line up behind each other. This thing needs a cool name, like The Eagle's Hammer or The Moorslayer. |

| #4 All that potential energy...who needs conventional explosives...same reason even small meteors make big holes..wonder if they can fit a guidance avionics package to steer it? As to the cost...never really about the cost, expensive weaponry is just an excuse used by REMFs to justify not having the cajones to deploy. |

| #2 Not too long before they won't put them on ships, as they will largely obsolete the need for a navy. Once they solve the stability problems above 8 mach, there is no real limit to the range. And doubtless there is work on them as an ABM system. |
