One could wonder how you thought of that ?

As a point of science, a .223 bullet is fully capable of penetrating 8” thick steel, and has plenty of mass to do so. However, propelled from a conventional gun it would lack the required velocity.

I suppose if you shot the bullet from space towards the sun, allowing for gravitational acceleration, it would gain the required velocity. But you would need really, really good aim......

Tail... I'd agree with you, but you see it from some more than others. I have to say I find it funny when it is used so frequently by those who claim to not want to know what goes on in a bedroom of two men...

By the the time you get it to accelerate to the required velocity friction will cause it to decrease in mass .



I see tony has accelerated his lying elsewhere.

The point is that with sufficient velocity a grain of sand would penetrate the plate - mass being only one of the variables.

I mean a blade of straw can pierce a telephone pole in a tornado.

It's interesting though. At what speed does air friction begin to degrade the bullet vs. the speed required to penetrate the steel. I think it would work in the atmosphere - without resorting to a Lorentz transformation.....

That was what I found with a quick read. I do not by any means think the issue is that simple. But I did want to clearly differentiate between fetus and baby. This is where legal rights change greatly under present laws if I understood what I read.

From a moral viewpoint it becomes much simpler for me. Once the fetus is viable it should be protected.

All I saw was the steel, don't know if the bullet came out pristine tho. I still remember the AR15 that some clown used a hand reload in, despite the warnings not to.
