Wouldn't this include manufacture? I'm assuming it's homogeniety would
have
to be impressive to hold until 'brought up to speed'.

I'd imagine it even better; just below 'up to speed', it's an
armor/fortification/mounting-piercing, buzzsaw, direct fire weapon, with
a
brain to kick in the 'jets' if it fails to hit a primary target. Ok,
plenty
of problems, even more with 'jets' controlled enough to precisely
increase
rotation, but it does make for an interesting BEM super dingus.

Oh, yes, the quotes around 'jets' indicates I'm also considering a range
counter-spinning centers, inertial-imparting field generators, precisely
bio-engineered bio-flatulance bio-thrusters (You're welcome,Big S), etc.
