[q] I am ever impressed by the ability of people to just solidify their beliefs in face of contradictory evidence. [/q]

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

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?

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.

If

the

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.

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