Looking down the 1.0 caliber two stage light gas gun from the open end of the breech toward the target tank just outside the building, 175 ft away. Projectiles achieve speeds of 23,000 ft/s in just 24 ft of barrel (NASA WSTF; https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/white-sands/two-stage-light-gas-guns/).
