I can't even imagine the gee forces involved here.
That's because it's simple high-school maths, Pat; or it could just be your chronic lack of imagination.

As insane as this thing is, it would be a great system on Mars, the Moon, or for asteroid mining.
Not really - it's shaped like that because it has to accelerate the projectile in a vacuum, otherwise they lose too much energy to drag. On Mars/the Moon/asteroids you'd use something linear, like a rail gun.

Fuckin' dunce. His usage of "less velocity" rather than "lower velocity" hurts my ears, too.
