I'm not sure what they use in your world, but it seems pretty badass in this one.

capable of sending projectiles a distance of 100+ nautical miles at speeds of up to 5,600 mph. That’s almost eight times farther and two times faster than conventional guns

5600 mph = 8213.333 ft/s

That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.

Why wasn't I invited to test fire this thing,

My rail stats on Q2 are pretty awesome

Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.

I think we can all agree that the Imperial/US system of measurement is stupid.
