the future of guns?

Sure, but you wouldnt stay there unless you had rockets to burn for orbit
> All existing and contemplated mass drivers use coils of wire energized by electricity to make electromagnets. Sequential firing of a row of electromagnets accelerates the payload along a path.
Where are these >:O

No, because the twin towers don't exist anymore

you could literally calculate a rough example by using Hooke's law to find what spring constant you would need to force a mass hard enough that when it leaves the slingshot it would need to go the distance from the ground to space. You could even neglect air resistance to give yourself a rough lower bound to give you a ball park idea of what kinda sling shot you'd need.
