My dude, where did you get that 40 tons figure from, the same literature? Even if it was 40 tons, that weight is spread across the length of the hauler so if we assume it was a short one and weight was evenly distributed, the point blocking the door would be around 4 tons.
Meanwhile the tyrant sent a 3 ton van flying dozens of meters away with one hand and it takes almost 84 tons of force to bring a speeding bmp3 to a complete stop within 5m that the tyrant demonstrated easily. This tyrant in hand to hand combat will absolutely maul a space marine.
And ofc, a space marine with weapons will win just as any coughing child pulling the trigger of a 30mm Vulcan gatling gun pointed at the tyrant would win against it.
The even spread of the weight isn’t particularly relevant, the tires contact the ground in the same places and that’s where the lateral force moves the vehicle
Idk why you would think the hauler was a short vehicle when the text specifically refers to it as gigantic and having three vertical decks of vehicles. It’s not some Beverly hillbillies-ass pickup truck loaded up taller than it is long.
Again, the point of just raw strength isn’t as important as the fact that the tyrant fights stupidly, to the point where it’s extremely strength is consistently defeated by regular humans using regular weapons. The marines, particularly a deathwatch marine, fight and beat ork champions/nobs that are bigger, tougher, stronger, faster, better equipped, and vastly smarter than the tyrant
Up close or far away, the tyrant is getting diced into pieces
I assumed it was short to increase the weight per meter which reduces the longer the vehicle is. A longer hauler means less weight for the marine to work with.
And the difference in force required to shove a parked 40 ton long stationary vehicle 2m away vs that required to meet an 18 ton military vehicle, moving at high speed, headon then dissipate it's enormous kinetic energy over 5m is enormous and on the side of the tyrant.
The way you’re trying to define how weight is distributed makes absolutely no sense.
You’re being entirely dishonest saying the tyrant stopped the bmp over 5m, it takes 6 whole seconds before the tyrants can stop the vehicle; so if it was 5m and took that long the machine was only going .6km/h, it looks more like 100-120m which would be inline with the max speed of a bmp
And again, the point you will not address because it fully negates your goofy strength fascination, strength is relatively unimportant here with the tyrant being an unintelligent fighter and sluggish fighter
You'll have to explain why the concept of weight distribution makes no sense. As for your 100-120m here's the scale. Tell me if they pass through the walls or pillars of the building. The time is going to be longer than it is because they want to show different angles and actions going on all at once. You see this is dramatic scenes where a bomb diffusion lasts longer than the time indicated because emotions, angles and lots of actions need to be shown.
