    My pet peeve is the reactionless guns with unlimited kinetic energy bullets. The shooter’s hand barely twitches but the target flies as if they were hit by a cannonball. Newton would be spinning in his grave.

      I think Newton would be the first to say that being appalled by things doesn’t cause a torque force on corpses. Well, he would be if he wasn’t dead. I guess it’s really just me saying that but trying to add Newton’s weight to it.
