[QUOTE="Calamity, post: 1762233, member: 112048"] NASA-Ames once built a pressure gun inside an evacuated pipe several hundred feet long to test the effects of micrometeorites on materials. The gun was a 243 (I believe) that fired a projectile comprised of a sabot with a BB size ball bearing inside. The sabot split upon leaving the muzzle, releasing the BB. It would be an interesting project to build a fixed barreled action that could be fired remotely, on something like a 30-06 cartridge, and develop a safe load that could be fired in a regular hunting rifle. San Diego Plastics carries graphite impregnated RULON that might work for the sabot. [URL]http://www.sdplastics.com/rulon.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
