Have you modelled your hybrid with these different projectiles in HGDT? I'm just curious to see what velocities and muzzle energies HGDT thinks you're getting; even if the results are a bit exaggerated.

Some playing around with the GGDT range tool and a lot of approximations later, I got a maximum range of about 3.5 kilometres :D

Yep - you can get a good one for less than 100 euro.

Random sidenote, this fires a projectile not unlike your aluminium tube slugs :D and the the translation is right, the tip is from an arrow head...

Chrony in the F1 is?

Although this principle, the arrows look like the arrows from a crossbow

It depends on what you want to do. Low, medium and high weight projectiles could all be ideal, depending on the application.

Looking forward to it :) that over the speed of sound should do pretty well by virtue of its weight.
