As 'The round arms after 20 to 70 m of flight', I expect 100 rounds will be needed before a first hit on a millimetric SD card core.
George Nacht:
"the projectile is slow and without much static force"
With '3.2 kg and muzzle velocity is 255 m/s', I expect more than 100kg of cards are needed to stop the projectile.
I thought that early detonation of a hollow charge improves the effectiveness.
The Russian invention of 1961 was already in use during WWII. The Germans took a movie of the first documented use of a hollow charge at Eben-Emael, it is very impressive, although The Guns Of Navarone used better lighting and close up shots.
As said it is about food safety. If you promise not to eat your horse, you are allowed to give them those PCB enriched, mad cow flavoured power feed. Else giving recycled motor oils and cheap animal proteins to a horse is a not done.
As far as I remember horse meat is often a good replacement for chewing gum, as those horses are mostly not young and the meat certainly not tender.
