That's gonna leave a mark.

Calculate for a 5lb projectile at 4,602mph (roughly Mach 6), and you get 3,539,895 ft-lbs of energy...

I read somewhere that they are working on upsizing the size of the projectile to where the impact would have the destructive force of a tactical nuke without any of the radiation. Launched from an orbiting platform, they would reach speeds of Mach 10.
