5 Can you explain how that example is contradicting the claim because I don't see it as a slam dunk. 5 Can you explain how that example is contradicting the claim because I don't see it as a slam dunk.

7 The only thing the video demonstrates is that a cannon firing a projectile at the same speed as a vehicle is moving in the opposite direction will make that projectile immobile horizontally. If I drop a bowling ball from an overpass and you drive a car under it at freeway speed, do you think it won't hurt you just because the bowling ball has no lateral velocity? 7 The only thing the video demonstrates is that a cannon firing a projectile at the same speed as a vehicle is moving in the opposite direction will make that projectile immobile horizontally.

9 The claim is that shooting backwards gives you more range than moving forward at the same speed and shooting in the same direction. The fleeing vehicle is moving away from the projectile aiming at it, but the chasing vehicle is moving towards the projectile. 9 The claim is that shooting backwards gives you more range than moving forward at the same speed and shooting in the same direction.

11 Under normal circumstances it wouldn't matter because relative to the speed of the projectile, the vehicles might as well be immobile. But in ZK bullets are VERY slow, at least compared to how you would expect realistic military weapons to function. It's just not realistic to take one step backward and suddently a bullet doesn't reach you anymore. 11 Under normal circumstances it wouldn't matter because relative to the speed of the projectile, the vehicles might as well be immobile.

13 I actually don't know, but it sounds like fleeing would be an advantage here. 13 I actually don't know, but it sounds like fleeing would be an advantage here.
