Due to it being in space, if the gun was just a giant revolver it wouldn't work cuz there's no oxygen to engine the powder. And the force of it shooting would launch the shuttle in the opposite direction, likely absolutely wrecking it in the process.

​@@krum1703 Did you know gunpowder and cap don't need oxygen? So lack of oxygen might reduce performance but still can ignite.

[@thegeekno72]

@@krum1703 powder contains both fuel and oxydizer, in fact all explosives are self contained chemical reactions, that's why weapons and charges can work in vacuum, underwater, etc... you'd be right about launching the vehicle in the opposite direction but I don't know about wrecking it, if the vehicle weighs tons and the projectile "just" kilograms, it'll just change its orbit depending on how much energy is behind exchanged here, unless it works like a carl gustav or a mass driver, in which case there's no change on the vehicle at launch

Fun fact: the animation displays an interesting quirk of the Citroen DS. As it has self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, it can actually drive on 3 wheels, which saved the life of president Charles de Gaulle on an assassination attempt on the 22nd of August, 1962, similar as shown here. There are multiple videos on the internet showing Citroen test drivers driving them on 3 wheels as a bit of a party trick as well.

It turned out to be a crazy game of associations - a continuation of the "Cold War" after the evacuation from the cooled Earth to the cold Moon in cold space.

Шикарная анимация, хороший экшен и неплохая музыка, всё что я скажу об данной анимации. Надеюсь её приметят и в СНГ. (P.S.-И да, комментатор из Западной Сибири, а не просто взял и набрал текст в переводчике)

I loudly clapped my hand together, shook my fist in the air, and forcfefully muttered "Let's fucking gooo!!" when I saw LSD in the first 5 seconds. Yes, I am actually highly intoxicated right now, why do you ask?

Really loved the FLCL reference. Crazy redhead with a yellow vespa, it gives off haruko vibes and I love it!

I can't believe YT recommended me this vid. I barely touch twitter since last year and forgot I followed this dude ages ago. I'm gonna spell out the obvious, very talented individual.

The entire animation but the ending shot felt so warm cozy the designs son point the mc eagle satellite is so on point with america and the small idea I hope these two characters will make it in another video like you eluded to in the description That ending shot of them looking at each other it felt so nice and calm

So, this is what happens when Studio Trigger gets coked up before making an anime series about two nuclear powers on the verge of war fighting through various proxies over the course of decades…

Most underrated video ever

[@NexusApollo]

Why doesn’t this have over a million views? More importantly, why aren’t we crowdfunding this?!
