Stupid mispelling on my part.

Cool Video Clip

#9092 posted by Jago on 2005/10/16 07:39:12

http://www.vce.com/AtomicGallery/movies/cannon.html I just thought this short clip was ridiculously cool. Yes, it's a cannon shooting a nuke.

Yeah

my favourite bit is the way the sound of the explosion travels at the speed of light.

(PS: I hope they free those poor bonzai kitties soon :{ )

Are you implying that the video is a fake?

Operation Upshot/Knothole, a 1953 test of a nuclear artillery projectile at Nevada Test Site (photo depicts 280 mm gun and explosion)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_artillery

Whether or not the video has been edited, nuclear artillery did indeed exist. Check the photo on the site, which is a high-res pic from the video.

According to all the info I've seen (not much) it would have taken about 29 seconds for the sound to reach the camera after the explosion took place. The video itself is apparently of the first test of a nuclear artillery shell.

He's implying that the sound is fake, and injected by some modern George Lucas for "effect", much the same way that Fox shows like America's Most Thrilling Police Car Chases always have inexplicably clear and distinct tire-screeching and car-smashing sounds.

Btw

#9097 posted by spd on 2005/10/16 17:06:51

many nuke test documentaries have fake sounds

#9098 posted by Zwiffle on 2005/10/16 18:06:12

I can imagine the stern voice on a documentary talking about the explosive destructive capabilities of a thermal-nuclear mortar if it were detonated in a city of 3 million people while the clip shows artillery firing missiles into a crowded city, then when the huge mushroom cloud blooms there's dog-toy squeaky sounds.

Nuclear Videos

#9099 posted by bambuz on 2005/10/17 05:05:24

yeah I hate those fake sounds. Well, what can one expect...

There is also a time gap in the nuclear cannon video, at least the one I have.
Funny how you can see the sounding rocket contrails in the light of the explosion.

Awww, come on, you know you missed me. Ok, not you (you know who you are).

But seriously, any new maps out there that I should get? Consider me 7 months out of the loop.

Yah

#9104 posted by gone on 2005/10/17 06:50:56

too boxy, somewhat UT-ish (weaps and lowpoly maps with ramps)
and I dont like the texture choice (esp color)

so far q4 looks disappointing, but I will try it anyway

Q4 DM

#9105 posted by R.P.G. on 2005/10/17 09:34:39

Those shots look like low-poly uninspired versions of HH3 maps.

Ramps?

#9106 posted by Lunaran on 2005/10/17 09:35:02

RAMPS?!

You can't be serious.

#9108 posted by inertia on 2005/10/17 17:50:39

Scampie probably has a lot on his plate (I just hope it isnt any problems backhome as New England is getting drenched at this time) so, I'm going to go ahead and put a link up for my speed map for the sm107 cramped theme event. If anyone else participated wants there map up as well just e-mail me alanr643_at_msn.com. My site is craptastic, but for a small community it should not be a problem.

Theme: cramped, Aramagon Tech

BuildTime 4 hours -- two of which dealt with a stupid bug.

Jesus.
