It exceeds the maximum thrust from a single engine, not both.
i could have sworn that it was both engines.
the gun is big enough that i'd believe that anyway.

@accalia said:
minimize recoil damage to the airframe
I don't remember seeing that.
I think it's safe to assume that a gun whose recoil exceeds jet engine thrust will be placing a helluva load on the airframe as a result
-
i could have sworn that it was both engines.
I think I remember reading that, too. Hmm, maybe an XKCD what-if? Is XKCD a more reliable source than Wikipedia?
-
heck even if it doesn't exceed overall thrust. putting 50% of the engine's combined output as counter thrust would still stress the airframe.
-
The 'What If?' sideline is pretty well-researched; I don't see why the guy'd apply lower standards to XKCD itself
-
It's quite common for rifle shooters to limit themselves to one round per minute so it stays cool.
Ridiculous! They should take a page from MechWarrior and put heat sinks all over them!

Maybe you should have read the post that @RaceProUK linked. :P
-
MechWarrior heat sinks are actually not heat sinks, they're active cooling devices, so that could be done with Peltiers. However, the hot side of the Peltier gets far hotter than the object it's trying to cool since it's just a heat pump. It might get a bit explody.

This one goes out to the metricians in the audience:
"Although admittedly a lot of this is about needling the people who get incredibly over-excited about being needled about their love of the metric system."

Also it depends on what you mean by "landed on the moon". Note: non-manned things have been landed by others.

People, as shown in the picture.

Russia landed on the moon. So has China.

That's not my name, also I do not possess any military rank.

How about "there are two types of countries: those who use the metric system and those who have dropped atomic weapons on another country".
-
So France.

France didn't drop theirs, they were gently placed in another country before the earth-shattering kaboom.
Rather like when the UK nuked Australia.

####Bruce Wayne is informed that Fallout 4 will be released in 2015. He has three years and his entire fortune to design as many games as necessary to ensure that NOT ONE PERSON attends the Bethesda Conference at E3 2015. Can he generate enough hype for his game(s)?
The doors to E3 opened wide, and the ground began to shake. A sea of neckbeards flooded into the stadium, hobbling toward the Bethesda conference as fast as their weak, chubby legs would carry them.
Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne, along with his game developers and advisors, observed the anarchy from a conference room.Their eyes were glued to the screen as they watched the camera feed of E3.
“They’re approaching the first booths,” one of the advisors said.
The horde of unwashed basement dwellers stampeded past the Halo 5 advertisements, unfazed by the announcement that the game would now be available for Playstation. The Ubisoft tables proved equally ineffective, despite the unveiling of three simultaneously released Assassin’s Creed games set in Ancient Egypt, Pax Romana, and Feudal Japan, respectively.
“Dammit, Wayne,” one of the advisors said, striking his fist against the table. “That barely even slowed them.”
Wayne did not respond. His gaze remained locked on the screen as the mob stormed past the Last of Us 2 booth.
“Here it is,” one of the game developers said. “This will stop them.”
For a moment, the horde took notice of the sign: “Far Cry: Bioshock.” The conference room held its breath as the crowd realized the potential of an open world shooter set in Rapture. But, to the conference room’s horror, only a few people broke off from the crowd. The flood of neckbeards continued inexorably, toward the Bethesda conference.
“They’re unstoppable!”
“Wait,” Wayne said, holding up a hand. “They haven’t reached my secret weapon yet.”
The anticipation of the neckbeards was as heavy as their bosoms as they drew closer and closer to the Fallout 4 unveiling. Advertisers did everything they could to slow the mob, but nothing worked. Ads for “Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake” and “Iron Man vs Hulk” were pushed aside.
The last booth that stood in the neckbeards’ way was “Five Nights at Freddy’s 4.” The promise of a full length Five Nights at Freddy’s served only to infuriate the video game purists. The only individuals that separated from the crowd were those that took the time to strike at the booth with their katanas.
“That was it?!” one advisor yelled. “That was your secret weapon?”
Wayne, as stoic as ever, did not look away from the screen.
At last, the mob rounded the corner and faced the Bethesda conference. With a mighty cry of “PC Master Race!” the horde charged. Both man and waifu alike were trampled underfoot as the horde advanced.
Suddenly, no more than ten yards before reaching the conference, the crowd came to a stop. Before them was a pillar with a single piece of paper taped to it. On that piece of paper were the words “Secret Unveiling” and an arrow pointing to the right.“What’s going on?” an advisor asked. “Why don’t they go around the pillar?”
“Oh my god,” one of the developers said, rising from his chair. “It’s genius. The games we’ve made! The order we’ve advertised them in.... and the event they’re attending... it’s.... it’s genius!”
“What is? I don’t understand.”
At last, Wayne spoke up. “We’ve made Halo 5, three Assassin’s Creed games, Last of Us 2, Far Cry: Bioshock, Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake, Iron Man vs Hulk, and Five Nights at Freddy’s 4.”
“And the conference is at E3,” the developer said as he wrote the names on a dry erase board.
Halo 5
Assassin’s Creed
Last of Us 2
Far Cry: Bioshock
Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake
Iron Man vs Hulk
Five Nights at Freddy’s 4
E3A single word boomed out from the neckbeards as they sprinted away from the Bethesda conference.
“CONFIRMED!”

It could be referring to some other Nixon, of course. However, the only living members of the former president's family who bear the Nixon surname seem to have avoided political office (not surprising given the taint the name now carries), so it would have to be a more distant relative.
Unless, of course you want to impeach Dick anyway even though he's dead, just to be on the safe side.

I'm glad you picked on him. Too old to be mine; I was only 15 at the time — not old enough to vote or really understand politics.

that is not a requirement to vote ...
I think it's a disqualification factor…

I will admit that the more I understand, the less enthusiasm I have for participating in the process — there is basically zero chance that anyone I would be willing to vote for would get elected here.
