High Velocity Projectile Firing... Boom...

I've seen enough gay porn to see where this is going...

[dougspair]

..This appears to be an explosive fired Sabot...but there are videos of the real 'gauss' guns...but they aren't called that....just rail guns..a couple vids of them firing if you call it firing...inside a test building...the things are very large and bulky, a lot of huge cables atached...the 'round' travels on rails...no hollow barrel like a conventional weapon...but still pretty noisy.

@dougspair its actually probably the velocities at wich it hit the energie relaese produced aflash from the sudden deccelaration

[dan999ification]

@MrTheboffin called impact flash and has been recorded at 9000fps with an etg on spudfiles

Dear Santa...

[sirlepto]

IT is a test of a PROYECTILE in a sabot with typical propellant. Will they have an experimental ELECTRIC GUN OUTDOORS? NO WAY

[OneBiOzZ]

its not a gauss gun ... thats not anywhere near what the military EM gun looks like XD

[migliore44]

you could sodomize a tank or ship with that...

[KommandantKavu]

Railgun has two definitions.. One: The use of electrically charged rails to project a "missile". Two: A weapon system which is based on train rails.

Point being is, there isn't sufficent information here to tell whether or not that system used ANY sort of electromagnetic energy. However, you can definitely see chemical propellant as stated by the other user.

@KommandantKavu it uses e-mag coils (making it a gauss gun, not a rail gun), and no chemical propellant.

@genesis1357

The flash of light is apparently a figment of my imagination. In order to create oxygen combustion by friction via velocity and mass, it would have to be traveling much faster at that range for the flash of light to be almost in sync with the designated target being hit by the missile.

[Jwat85]

Nope, this one uses conventional chemical propellant...just a regular gun firing a crazy projectile in a sabot to test flight/damage characteristics before use in the railgun.

[Jwat85]

this is being used to fire the projectile that would later be used in the Navy's electromagnetic gun (lookup dahlgren) ...there aren't any rails...the gun itself is fixed

[HierophantMystique]

A gauss gun then?

[genesis1357]

@HierophantMystique yup. this is an electromagnetic coil (gauss) gun, instead of a rail run.

[Jwat85]

well, that is actually a conventional propellant gun firing the projectile (as a test) that would later be used in the Navy's railgun. still cool though
