UNSC MAC round velocity
Posted By: Vanguard21 <legionnaire18@yahoo.com>	Date: 1/27/05 11:18 p.m.
In The Fall of Reach, the Super Macs fired rounds at "point four tenths" the speed of light. Is this a redundancy? Does it mean .4c or .04c? Then, in another instance: ""MAC at one hundred percent," the weapons officer shouted. "Ready to fire!" "Fire!" Captain Wallace ordered. The lights on the bridge dimmed and the Commonwealth shuddered. The MAC bolt launched through space--a red-hot metal slug moving at thirty thousand meters per second. The Covenant ship's engines flared to life and the ship veered away-- --Too late. The havy round closed and slammed into the target's prow." -TFoR, page 108 What was the speed of that specific ship? Could it mean the MAC round was traveling relative to the ship(which was going at fractional c speeds)? Second of all, anywhere that I can get ahold of Eric Nylun? Email or any such?
