Also, an SMAC fires at forty percent speed of light, not 8.
No, it fires at point four tenths the speed of light. Nobody knows what that actually means. I think the most likely is that Nylund originally put 'point four the speed of light' then realised it sounded a bit off, and changed it to 'four tenths the speed of light'. Or the other way round.
But he didn't backspace enough, and we're stuck with 'point four tenths'. It's clearly a typo, it's mathematically and grammatically incorrect.
If it was only 4% and not 40%, then it's a difference of about 100 times in terms of impact energy, and only 400 times greater velocity than a shipboard MAC.
Although at 4%, the energy values required to generate that kind of power are more realistic.
