So if you could get a jet of water to travel at several thousand ft./sec it would have the same effect on armor plate as a HEAT round?
Quite weird how explosions can work... The mantlet came loose and turned 90 degrees clockwise? A Churchill used for target practice, or did it take this many shots to be taken out?
You guys are aware that water is now used a a 'cutting device' for steel, similar to laser? So, yes, if you get the pressure high enough then you can cut almost anything. I think I have heard of 200mm plus water cutters. Yet they are accurate enough to cut a iced cake in slices, even cutting the cherries on top.
