@Marc: I don't know, to be honest. I'm no ballistics expert, and I did literally the minimum amount of work possible to determine whether or not this gun would actually work based on only two given values in the muzzle speed and barrel length (bullet material and barrel width were kind of just approximated). I didn't do anything even remotely close to good calculations, I just enough to be sure that this wouldn't work.

Besides, this has never been super realistic. It just has to be able to sort of semi-plausibly maybe be able to work. Most people just go with vagueness in describing the stats of a given weapon or device to avoid this kind of thing.

And fair enough Tiroler. I am admittedly doing bad math and making a ton of assumptions. Still, I'm fairly sure that I'm not wrong about it not being able to shoot into orbit.
