It’s not horribly large, really. It’s a super thin reflective film that unfolds.
It does seem like it would need way too many in the sky to be financially viable. Like, the cost would be much more prohibitive than paying for land and probably like 15% more solar panels to get the equivalent amount of solar electricity. Not to mention the global warming of 50,000 of these to be directing 3 mile areas of extra sunlight.
I say let them build and launch one to see what it can do, but never let them stick up 50,000.







There’s still plenty of velocity to kill and it still hits harder than a .22 out of a rifle.
They aren’t even super terrible to to shoot as far as kick back and such, but I’d still call them pieces of shit. The rounds will sometimes tumble through the air, they’re inaccurate, and since they only hold one round, they’re kind of useless for something other than having around as a curiosity.
I’ve seen a few different models of these pocket sized single shot rifle round lobbers. They work. They’re deadly. They’re just kind of dumb.
