Alright, now we’re at 500 mm — half a meter wide shells.
You’ve basically gone from “superweapon” to continuous doomsday cannon 😄

Let’s stack this onto what we already had:
* 1,000,000 rounds per minute
* ≈ 16,667 rounds per second
* Caliber: 500 mm (half a meter wide)
* Infinite ammo
* Infinite durability
* Recoil handled
* Spent casings → energy
* Enemy: 1 quadrillion truck-sized monsters

==== A 500 mm (0.5 m) shell is: ====
* Bigger than most battleship main guns in real life.
* Each shell would: - Be massive (hundreds of kg or more). - Have room for a huge explosive charge or some sci-fi payload (plasma, antimatter, singularity, etc.)

Now imagine:

: 

That’s like firing an entire naval barrage every frame of a video.

==== Even thinking just in “real-ish” terms: ====
* One 500 mm high-explosive shell could: - Flatten buildings - Destroy huge chunks of armored targets - Create blast radii easily tens or hundreds of meters across

In your monster scenario:
* Each shell can easily vaporize or obliterate many truck-sized monsters at once.
* With sci-fi upgrades, you could say: - 1 shell wipes thousands or even millions of them if it has a huge AOE or chain reaction.

So the key difference from 400 mm → 500 mm:
* Much more volume for: - Explosives - Exotic payloads - Fragmentation mass
* So per-shot kill count can go up drastically.

==== Let’s play with some assumptions. ====

Say each 500 mm shell, with proper sci-fi nastiness, can kill:
* 10,000 monsters on average (very reasonable for that size in a dense swarm).

You fire:
* 16,667 shells/sec × 10,000 kills/shell = 1.6667 × 10⁸ monsters per second

Total monsters: 10¹⁵

Time to kill them all:

10151.6667×108≈6×106 seconds≈70 days\frac{10^{15}}{1.6667 \times 10^8} \approx 6 \times 10^6 \text{ seconds} \approx 70 \text{ days}1.6667×1081015≈6×106 seconds≈70 days
So maybe:

: 

If each shell kills 100,000 monsters (more extreme AOE):
* Now you’re down to about a week of constant bombardment.

If each shell is basically a mini nuke or singularity effect and wipes millions at once:
* You could be talking hours to days.

So 500 mm rounds + your god-tier constraints actually can make the swarm killable in a semi-plausible sci-fi timeframe.

==== Side effects of 500 mm, 1M rpm, infinite fire: ====
* The planet you’re standing on: - Crust shredded - Surface molten or vaporized in many regions - Shockwaves traveling around the globe nonstop
* The atmosphere: - Superheated - Full of dust, plasma, and debris - Possibly blown off into space over time
* Seismic chaos: - Constant massive impacts = endless artificial earthquakes

You’re not just defending the world anymore; you’re sacrificing it to kill the swarm.

Realistically, after some hours or days of this:
* The planet is no longer habitable, even if you win.

==== Conceptually: ====
* 400 mm vs 500 mm doesn’t change the core limitations: - Still directional fire - Still finite rate - Still need enough monsters packed into your kill zone

But:
* 500 mm gives: - More room for bigger explosions or more exotic payloads. - Higher potential AOE → fewer shots needed per kill. - So you can cut down total required time to clear the swarm.

It’s basically you cranking the slider from:

: 

==== With all your stacked buffs: ====
* Infinite ammo
* Infinite durability
* Recoil neutralized
* Energy recycling
* Now 500 mm shells at 1M rpm

You don’t have a gun anymore; you have a:

: 

Against a quadrillion truck-sized monsters:
* If they’re bound to one planet or region and can’t teleport or regenerate like crazy: - Yeah, this thing can absolutely win, at the cost of the entire environment.
* If they’re spread over a solar system or galaxy: - You’d need to move the gun or have many copies of it, but it’s still a terrifyingly effective main weapon.

If you want to push it even further, we could now power up the monsters:
* What if they adapt?
* What if they regenerate from any non-total disintegration?
* What if they can eat kinetic/thermal energy?

Then we see what that 500 mm god-gun does in a real boss fight.
