The Future Of Transportation - Guns

Now here's an experiment that just cries out to be performed. Using the recoil of a GAU-8 rotary cannon to accelerate a car.
If I mounted a GAU-8 on my car, put the car in neutral, and started firing backward from a standstill, I would be breaking the interstate speed limit in less than three seconds.
 Obviously a real crowd pleaser at the drag strip as long as there was no one waiting in the staging area.

If they can make Kalashni-Kitty AK-47s, why not an AKcd rifle?
