Using NO explosions, heat, or hidden items, this gun is capable of shattering glass. The bullet creates so much pressure on impact that the glass breaks. The bullet is 1 pixel of SAND traveling so fast as to appear instantaneous.

    @m_shinoda I found therocketeer's save. It accelerates the particles in the same manner, just not as fast. I'll credit him.

    This thread explains the concept: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=12996

    @m_shinoda I was not aware that you or therocketeer had developed any form of propulsion that speeds individual heavy powders to past 300 pixels per second or shatters glass. Please provide the IDs of the saves. If your claims are valid, I'll credit you guys. :) Also, making a silencer reduces the power, and I just did this to show off my concept, not the gun.

    This is awesome! Is it alright if I make my own versions of this if I give you credit?

    I think I have found out how this works but i'm not sure. As the sand is moving at or maybe faster then the top speed a particle can go it creates no pressure, but as the sand slows down so that you can see it, it starts to make pressure, and after about 50 test firings I have found the pressure varies from 0.10 to 0.60 ( One time it when up to 2.26 o_O but that is Very Rare and does not happen close to the glass ) But I also noticed that the glass sometimes brakes when the pressure is only 0.12 but that will only happen when the glass is really cold and the pressure is around the size of a block of wall plus it has to happen in less then one frame. I have also found that sometimes it says there is 0.00 pressure but it shows on the screen that there is some pressure there ( I am using Air : Cracker option to see the pressure ) so there might be something else that is making the glass shatter such as a bug. Well that is what I have found Sorry this is so long -DarkEye22

    This save is so cool! I modded mine out to be silenced and fire superheated uranium slugs

    This is great but its been done before. First by @therocketeer, and then improved by me. I dont know if you got the idea from either of us but great job nonethless.PS> try making a silencer ;) Use pump 0
