Object description

Physical projectile damage (research) affects the damage of all firearms magazines, gun turrets, shotgun shells, cannon shells and defender robots.

Technology	Cost	Per Level	Cumulative	Per level	Cumulative	Per level	Cumulative

2 Physical projectile damage 2	30 1 1 ✖ 200	10%	20%	10%	20%

7-∞ Physical projectile damage 7-∞	60 1 1 1 1 1 1 ✖ 2^(Level-7)*1000 (eg. 1000 for level 7, 2000 for level 8)	40% per level	120% + 40%*(Level-6)	70% per level	120% + 70%*(Level-6)	100% per level	220% + 100%*(Level-6)

In Space Age, level 6 of the research and the infinite research have half the effect for bullets and gun turrets. The effect for shotgun and cannon shells is unchanged.

Thresholds

The table below shows for each level of the physical projectile damage research how many (normal quality) magazines a gun turret requires to destroy a small (S), medium (M), or small promethium (SP) asteroids. Big and huge asteroids are excluded because their flat physical resistance makes gun turrets impractical; medium promethium asteroids are better left to rocket turrets. Physical projectile damage research applies to both the ammo and the turret as separate multipliers, so the combined bonus is squared rather than summed. Separate columns are given for Firearm magazines, Piercing rounds magazines, and Uranium rounds magazines, each of which holds 10 rounds.
