Curious: Magnetic bullet question

[gendoikari87]

No, not the ferrous metal ones that magnets stick to.

My question pertains to what would happen if you shot a neodymium magnet out of a shotgun. I've see a video where they do it and they stick together but what about their effects on electronics? If you hit it and they didn't penetrate would that induce enough of a field to damage electronics?

Say you had one of these moving at 400 meters per second"

From the shotgun the magnets tumbled so they were able to clump up with opposite poles in contact ... so the net B field is very small.

But if you shoot a single one, make it aerodynamic, you'd have a rapidly changing B field at the target ... you can work out the effect for yourself (and compare with the kinetic energy of the impact).
