HFY Story : Human Economics & Yet Another Giant Gun for war |2305~Deathworld, War, Terran and Humans

[@theengagedfew]

An 8 inch CIWS? They've turned Puff The Magic Dragon into Belarion The Black Dread, just in case they might need to perforate a star. And you know that, somewhere on the planet, there's a crew putting the finishing touches on an MK-19 that fires Tsar Bombas at a rate of 350 rounds a minute.

[@HenshinFanatic]

Noisy cricket, flechette version.

[@HammarPwnsYourFace]

@@HenshinFanatici want one… for each hand…😂

[@GrigoriZhukov]

That slow?

[@nadjasunflower1387]

@@GrigoriZhukov lol...that slow. the real MK-19 fires 40mm grenades. it doesn't need to fire fast, as each grenade has a 5m killing radius and a 15m casualty radius. now imagine 350 grenades coming at your direction you and your friends are hiding in....still think it's slow ??? lol

[@GrigoriZhukov]

@nadjasunflower1387 cut my teeth putting out 90m kill radius with kiloton options. So yes, Mk19 doesn't rate as a sidearm in my armory.

[@KB-bs4ct]

After millions of years a exploration ships stumbles a planet full of giant weapons. They do not realize that the giant structures are weapons at first and begin to explore the structures. After realizing that the bizarre structures are infact weapons they quickly leave and return the way they came. While hoping the giants that built such weapons do not find them.

Story 1. So, the lesson can be resumed as : Give freely to the humans and you'll get repaid back with interest. BUT, don't ever try to short change or abuse them, as you'll regret that to your last breath, and beyond. Story 2. Or, there is NO such thing as overkill and bigger IS better, the bigger the better. Also, there is no such thing as overdoing it.

[@fnors2]

Story 2 is yet another case of "Never, EVER, let engineers get bored"

[@wyrmhand]

24. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a big gun. 34. If you’re leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun. 37. There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload.'[33] Amended: There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "reload."

[@whyjnot420]

@@Nyet-Zdyes You'll like it. This is basically the halfway point in the story. All in all it is like an hour long and it just gets more and more absurd. I haven't noticed the rest here on this channel, but a video called 'Humans Please Stop Making GIANT GUNS!!! | Sci-Fi Story | HFY Story" has it (I still don't know if this is the actual end, but its the furthest I've seen)

[@Aminuts2009]

"Well you see Admiral, we had this gun so, we built the ship around it."

[@paulhartman5683]

Story 2: Sure.... Show us the gun. Agro Squirrel: Doubt you'll see this but it's pronounced See Wiz. and it is a truly frighting ship defense weapon. Think the A-10's main gun but for ships with a higher rate of fire and greater ammunition stores. Great narration as always!

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great stories; Excellent narration! As a "retired" military engineer, I can really relate to the engineers in the 2nd story! LOL!!!

[@Elyseon]

By retired, do you mean they just went "You can retire early with full benefits! Just please stop!"?

[@mikkelnpetersen]

"Why would you build a giant gun?" "Because I can"

[@HenshinFanatic]

"Same reason I made naval armaments into handguns."

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

You can also play Doom on it.

[@InternetGravedigger]

Story 1: Play nice with humans, and you profit. Don't play nice, and we destroy everything in retaliation. Story 2: Beware an engineer with unlimited resources and plenty of free time... you never know what the crazy monkey will come up with! While not as insanely up-scaled as the machine gun, that Phalanx cannon would also be a force to be reckoned with, especially by incoming missiles, fighters or troop shuttles...

[@BrandonKing.]

Both stories are a cautionary tale of the fabled "proportional response" 😂

[@zetaking2909]

i think my fav story on that, had an alien see humans using hard suits like spartan armor then one uped it, human saw this, said hell no, one uped him, and it went back and forth tell they had super robots >.>;

[@dragon_games1657]

Oh god...

Oh my god, a GAU? Time to start designing the A-1000 Warthog Prime around it. When you absolutely need to BRRRRT a planet in half.

[@jasonswearingin1009]

8 inch CWIS! How is a weapon system with an effective range measured in light seconds/minutes a Close In Weapon System? What would constitute a stand off weapon? Not complaining except for the fact I ate an entire 256 count box of crayons before the last story ended! Plenty of Dakka not enough crayons!

[@liwojenkins]

Space is big. Considering how inertia works in space, detection range is engagement range. You would hope to engage at light seconds or further.
