[Story][Season 2]The gas station (finished)

[Norgarth]

Wouldn't the smart thing be to give the projectile a light and radar abporption coating? It isn't very big, and that way you'll only spot it when it gets very close, unless it cast a shadow (light or radar) against something.

Yes, some radar stealth might be a good idea if the speed becomes too low to feasible getting past Jenga.

Getting luck enough to spot it with infra-red is good.

I think most railgun/coilgun projectiles (especially if accelerated by some crazy oneshot device) will become quite hot.

Part of the reason bullets get hot is air friction.  with this sort of attack, there would be very little dust/gas particles to create friction (I assume that the shot was coming in from 'above' the plane of Saturn's rings, trying to shoot through a ring would have too high a chance of something deflecting/stopping the projectile)
