Well, these guys want to use the $500m gun to launch poo poo into space.
I mean, who wouldn't?  With something which can fire 450kg payloads at 6km/sec (only 1/50,000th speed of light!) it's the perfect way to get rid of unwanted stuff.
Unfortunately, the object needs to be rather cone shaped and may need an additional rocket to actually help get it into orbit, so the dead body you're trying to hide would require something a little more consideration.
