Honestly, at the velocity they're hitting they're gonna cause a significant sized blast anyways. So folks, you know what time it is, it's FUN WITH HIGH VELOCITY PHYSICS time, yaaay! At 2 miles/sec, they're going to cause an explosion slightly greater then their mass in TNT. So according to Spaceships a 12cm railgun round weights 80 lbs. and at a ~3.2 km/s it's going to have a blast effect on par with ~96.8 lbs of high explosives! That's about 6d×20 cr ex damage, that's an average of ~413 points of damage. That house wood house and those two goons would be abstract art after this heh. For those of you who want to use this, just multiply the mass of the projectile by (0.5× (its velocity in m/s)^2)/4.28×10^6. After that use the formula on page 415 of the Basic Set to figure damage. Just set up a spread sheet and you can have high velocity fun at your table top at any time!

Gotta love big guns vs. Soft targets
