Welcome to LOLRPC, or The Layman’s OGine Long Rod Penetrator Calculator. LOLRPC, Is a calculator that is designed to specify a Long Rod Penetrator. The Calculator is
based off of the online calculator (a link to which can be found in the links section of this page) and uses the same equations, however, unlike the online calculator, which
relies on the user working out the speciPcations for the dart and the user to calculate the inputs for the Pring table, this calculator, when fed the Base Length of a Rod,
