A question for you learned gentlemen and ladies:
The Devil being a crafty sort of fellow and not caring one nit about gun control laws decides to create a gun of infinite barrel length, loaded with a bullet containing an infinite charge of gunpowder/blackpowder or the like.
Presuming his iron works have found a way to create a bullet that can withstand such forces...
At what point in the barrel does the bullet achieve maximum acceleration?
(I have from reliable sources that Newton was consulted via long distance telegraph and the answer wasn't as simple as hoped.)
[mods please feel free to move this to a different area if required]
