I'm going to be that guy, sorry.
Mass doesn't increase when an object travels at relativistic speeds. The *perceived* mass increases. It gets a little confusing until it gets explained properly.

Unsc: misses...

Billions of years later takes out a whole innocent unsuspecting alien race

[pergys]

I would like to note that humanity’s best weapon is us Yeeting rocks at high speeds.

[mrmacguffn]

Humanity has a specific skill set that Xenos just cant deal with

Our ability to YEET a heavy rock at stupid high speeds has been refined for centuries

[colonelstriker]

My mind went “huh, 28 giga tons ain’t that much, the tsar bomba has 50 megatons and it operated at half capacity.”

Then noticed “gigatons”

[SungJaeUng]

YES. PLEASE. MORE SHIP MOUNTED WEAPONS AND ARMOR.

[miriamprieto]

A video about plasma lance strength would be interesting a nice followup to macs.

[gordonfreeman]

I would love to hear about the nuclear missiles the UNSC uses. I've heard a lot about the Shiva and I have NO idea what it does aside from big boom.

[Qardo]

Me being a Trekkie. One MAC Platform would have ended the Battle of Sector-001. As the Borg do not use shields and their adaptive ability only works on energy base weapons. In turn, one round hitting a Borg Cube.

Pop!

No, more cube or even the Sphere. End of movie. Moving on.

And keep in mind the Didact's ship took on constant baggages from hundreds of ODPs, the Infinity, and several cruisers for like I don't know less then a hour and no damage had been done to it without Chief's intervention. That's in the teratons of force and it wasn't damaged.
Made me wonder if a Forerunner Fortress Class Dreadnought could survive a blast from the BFG 10, 000 in Doom Eternal.

[BirdheadedScholar]

I would like you to analyze the lore of archer missiles. Always been curious on those missiles. And maybe do a video on space combat ranges in general. Been reading to much Atomic Rockets that the question keeps popping in mu mind.

[JacobBite]

I remember attempting some calculations and concluding that they can basically destroy a continent in a single shot. The SMACs that is.

[companymen]

Magnetically accelerated projectiles are the future. I remember reading or watching somewhere that the DoD wants to eventually replace all ship based guns with these. I think the main reason was safety and range. The ammo is safer to store, because it’s not explosive, and it has like 10 times the range of conventional ship based guns.

[kotsifis]

halo power scaling: 4% sol sounds reasonable and that 50% number is not that trustworthy so we will use 4%

Starwars power scaling: It says here on this box of cereal that a blaster from a trooper packs enough power to cause a nuclear explosion...seems legit

[chiefsenpai]

A small recommendation - please show the numbers on screen when you're talking about them. Just hearing them sounds a bit gibberish

[EpsilonThirteen]

Honestly, my favorite part about the Supers is that the acronym is SMAC

[markmulder]

Early Human. Builds a gun.
Modern Human. Builds bigger gun.
Future Human. Builds fleets of giant flying guns that are covered in smaller guns.






Also, Installation 00. Why did you beat that poor marine to death at 3:15? WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU? Accidentally grenade you or something?

[icekick]

Can you do a video on how powerful different bombs are particularly the nova bomb?

[samjames]

The most badass rail-gun in sci-fi history.

[ChaosKnocker]

Installation00, You could turn this into a mini-serie like with ''the armory'' but with ship mounted weapons from all factions. you could call it ''The Shipyard''
