Line 330:
** Even more than that, actually, since the kinetic energy of a massive body approaches infinity as its velocity approaches 'c'.
** Forget the the energy of the bullet: consider the power density of the ''battery'' required to pump out the juice needed to accelerate the bullet over a distance of just over a meter to "nearly the speed of light". Instead of the bad guys trying to sell weapons to some rinkydink rogue nutcase, they should be marketing the power supply to NASA, ESA, the Russians, the Chinese, or anyone else who want to toodle around in space.
**And what happens to the bullet when it exits the barrel and hits the atmosphere at "near light speeds"? I wouldn't want to be the poor sap at the trigger end...
