From: nobody@Kodak.COM (Rick Lafford (x37825)) Reply-To: lafford@serum.Kodak.Com In reply to Mr. Zimmerman's BB launcher: What you describe sounds like R2D2 or the Phlanyx system used on many capitol ships for close in air defense. It does look like a garbage can (tracking radar) but uses a Vulcan 20mm cannon instead of BB's. Re: cooling reactors I believe that the author did not intend to flood the reactor with cold water but to use it as a controlled cooling source. This IMHO would work fine on a ship.
