## Questions & answers
### [What is a multi-injection pneumatic cannon?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/longshot-q130379904#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-a0e7f51782dc6dad-a-8aa08048f2599d637fb9)
“A multi-injection pneumatic cannon is a long tube that launches payloads using many small injections of compressed gas. Picture a potato gun, but instead of a single blast of air, you have a bunch of separate air tanks spaced along the barrel.”

### [Why have multiple injections instead of one huge blast at the start?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/longshot-q130379904#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-a0e7f51782dc6dad-a-8b519ab6bd20934aee0a)
“Having multiple injections means each individual push is gentler on the payload, but also allows the payload to reach a very high final speed by the time it exits the barrel without harming the barrel.”

### [What is the issue with rockets?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/longshot-q130379904#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-a0e7f51782dc6dad-a-6ad06c231d9b51995b8e)
“The core issue is the tyranny of the rocket equation. A rocket is a tool for lifting its own fuel that happens to do a little bit of useful transportation work.”

### [How will the g-forces not crush the payload?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/longshot-q130379904#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-a0e7f51782dc6dad-a-cffca2a81ff39585a991)
“G-force is a measure of acceleration, and acceleration depends on how much runway there is to build up speed. A quick acceleration over a short runway results in a violent jolt, while the same acceleration over a much longer distance creates a gentler push.”

### [Is Longshot involved in the defense industry?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/longshot-q130379904#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-a0e7f51782dc6dad-a-61018063aafbba215ebf)
“Yes. Longshot has been backed by the U.S.”
