It depends on the use, if used as Ortillery in support of a StarGrunt game
then you have to go to the incoming tracks. If used as direct fire impact
occurs immediately. The end result in both cases being the
knight makes a clangy-squishy sound as he hits.

Of course, in space no-one can hear you squish.

Since the friction of a medieval knight is far greater than that of a digital
camera, the camera will be thrown further, and disable the japanese samurai by
slamming thraight through his paper armour.

Hence, the night will be saved from his nearly unavoidable doom. The chip on
the camera will hold a rather blorry picture of a very surprised samurai.
