: : So, shooting machine guns from ther front of the ship, the bullets would just sit there? would the ship then run into them?
: I'm not too sure on this, but I just don't think they'd leave the ship at all. There has to be enough force/energy for the projectile to leave the ship. So at a normal projectile rate coming from something travelling so fast, I don't think it would leave.
Like me, the bullets are already going as fast as the ship, and so would require no "extra ordinary" means of propulsion (in a vaccum) to fire from the ship.
