Fire straight up and have the projectiles disappear, or if Mami can't do that for some reason set them to unfold into parachutes?
I assume you want to see the effect of the projectiles when they impact something, though. Down is probably OK as long as you increment things rather than going straight to "as much energy as possible". Witch barriers, deserts or anonymous patches of ocean would be good places to test anything that pushes the limits of how much you can pack into a shot.
 
If it weren't for the (presumed) machinations of feathers, we could lock ourselves in our barrier and do the 'delicate' science in an ideal enviroment :(

But we promised. Also, last time we spent a second there everything went aflame outside, so I guess that is that for the moment.
 
Not really. We already know what Tiro Finale does when it hits something, we're just trying to make it shoot faster.
Right. Which you could get (crudely?) from comparing the impact craters if you shot at something. If it didn't hit anything, you'd need another way to measure the speed. For this purpose, I recommend a grief-based LIDAR sensor--same mechanism as the kind used by police to enforce speed limits.
 
It would be nice if we could do some sort of magical Grief disintegration shield. And a sound dampener; then we could shoot giant cannons to our heart's content.
 
Well, if we created a sufficiently shock-absorbent material? Super-jello.
Don't remind me. We still haven't tested how tough is Grief...

I put in a catch-all "take appropriate precautions" clause, and Mumi has experience with highly damaging attacks. I don't think we'll do anything particularly dangerous.
Now that we've called Homura 'Homu' while 'eeeeeeee'-ing, how long will it take for us to call Mami 'Mumi' to her face?

We already have in our thoughts, if not out loud, including just now:
So cute so cute it's a tiny squishable huggable mumi not that the real one isn't squishable and huggable but this one is so tiny and so cute-
And while arguing with Ono:
"No," you say. Think about tiny chibi-Mumi hugging you.
And before bed a couple days ago:
It's been a long day, Mumi-hugs notwithstanding.
 
... I just had an thought, we should inspect our hammer and practice with it.
Maybe we can use the Large Hammer(TM)​ to Do Something(C)​ ! :)

Maybe if we have a re-match against Sayaka. Not that she wouldn't kick our ass, but a poleaxe would help us last longer, perhaps.

Just got to play defensively. Be ready for those sword shots and concentrate on getting one good hit in right in the Soul Gem, since we hit hard.

Outside sparring... making our hammer into a poleaxe could help us fend off attacks while we concentrate on hitting things with our Grief? Maybe?
 
You know, interesting thought. Can grief establish a territory and enact some sort of change or condition upon it? Say we make a grief sphere around a car but don't have any grief TOUCH the car. Can we order it to "erase everything inside the sphere"? If that works, can we then dismiss the sphere and have the effect persist?

So you want us to make a sphere of non-existence/etc as big as a car and then just release the barrier?
I wonder if the explosion would be bigger than the same amount of antimatter...

Barring exotic aftereffects and/or false vacuum collapse, I'd expect the aftershock of a car-sized empty space suddenly filling with air to be many, many orders of magnitude less then a matter-antimatter reaction.

Remember when we tried to manipulate space? Made a hollow tube of Grief and tried will it into being bigger on the inside, it didn't work.

There was nothing to work with.

True, but that was an open tube, not a closed space, for what it's worth. If we're talking about establishing a metaphysical 'territory', the distinction might matter.

Yes, but that's assuming it would be an ordinary vacuum rather than grief haxxed.
Either sounds equally likely.
