OOC: No offense intended, but this really doesn't make sense. A 75km tall gun is absurdly large, for one. The amount of resources needed to build such a thing would be immense, and unless you were using it to level cities or something of the sort, you could never justify the cost. Secondly, bullets do damage via kinetic energy, which relates to the mass and velocity of the bullet. Something travelling at two knots will never deal any sort of real damage. It will literally just push things, as it's a very wide projectile moving at a very low speed. Additionally, the size of the projectile would make it necessarily very heavy. If the gun has a muzzle velocity of 2kts, a projectile of that mass is not going anywhere. Pointed sideways, it will likely barely make it out of the barrel. Pointed up, as in the picture, the bullet will probably leave the barrel and then immediately fall back in, or alternatively the barrel might just plain explode due to the gases created by firing having nowhere to go (if the bullet does not exit the muzzle).
