... is faster, There are fixed laboratory setups for higher velocity, but I don't think there has ever been anything of higher velocity that was at all portable (certainly not launchable). Related explosive technologies can go much higher (calteches.library.caltech.edu/181/01/zwicky.pdf), but it's hard to make a payload that can survive them. there had been some advance in WW ...

Probably using explosive bolts though. Ah, but they wait until they've burned out. Then they shove them away gently. As opposed to letting them run wild while they're at max thrust. Still a very dangerous event ...
