OK, I know there's a rule about talking about shooting people, but what about PROPELLING people? lol.

Haha that's pretty cool. Stupid, but cool. I'm surprised it worked as well as it did.

Well, yeah, but think about what WE could get something like that to do...

Actually, I'm not sure WE could do significantly better without endangering the person along for the ride.
It's ultimately about getting the friction down and the power up through bigger air tanks and launch cylinders. I just wouldn't want to be the "pilot"...

40" bore, human sabot round, 500 psi.
One ride on such a thing and you will remember the definition of "G-force" for the rest of your life*.
*As long as it lasts.

Hmmmm...
Just have the maximum acceleration a human can survive and hold on to that as long as possible (over 10 meters long).
Land in a lake or use a parachute to survive.
