Bullets became conical mini-balls cuz they squished against the interior of gunbarrels, creating a tighter to seal prevent the lit gunpowder from venting past while conveniently also actuating better against the interior rifling. The bullet won’t have to make contact with the barrel if it’s all
magnetic induction, hence a coilgun, so it could probably be shaped as anything as long as it spins aerodynamically. The spin put in normal bullets just makes it
drift off-ways in a ‘‘setted’’ direction. %:P%
wut I mean is, leik, a coilgun that can ‘reprogram’ which direction that drift goes for course correction, or even exaggerate it to make the bullet curve around corners.
%(|| wonder if spin can work in space too tho, given; inertia + gravity +
radiation pressure +
yarkovsky effect ||)%
Another idea that coincides practically with this is, leik,
small micro-sized missiles, also kicked out of a coilgun, but so that the micro-missiles’ scramjets can ignite.
%( or just give it a tiny rocket motor so it can curve around and hit stuff directly behind the shooter, and even work in space, or underwater through
super-cavitation )%
