not all guns were designed to harm human or any other lifeforms. i saw a program on television, were they took a rail gun, a really big gun that moves a bullet at unbelievable speeds. i dont know how fast, but the units were kilometers per second. the purpose was to hit capsules (the target) filled with everyday stuff, seawater, water, oxygen, etc, with this hypersonic bullet to simulate an asteroid hitting earth at a low trajectory. they were studying the effects the extremes pressures were doing at the atomic level to see if earth could survive the big hit.
