Rail Gun SUPER WEAPON ( Electromagnetic ) breaks WORLD RECORD !! - Report

This new SUPER WEAPON being developed by the US Navy fires projectiles at over SEVEN TIMES the speed of sound (Mach 7+). This will give it's guns a range of around 100 miles and the firing power of 33 MEGAJOULES!!

Check out this cool picture and description of the technology:

@LizzyAston Wasn't that the bull cannon?. The brits tested those in the carribean, then Saddam wanted one to trow a satelite, of course, no electromagentic propulsion, just pownder.

@Alias1107 perhaps someone with a phd or post doctoral degree.

that image looks photo shoped!!! and STFU your anoying

Put some clothes on, fag. You talk too much. I didn't even make it to the rail gun. Was expecting something cool, but got you instead :p Had to pause your annoying ass and get out of here.

I find it funny when everyone talks about this NEW, AMAZING technology and how its "being developed" lol

Its ALREADY being used in high risk/high security gov facilities. This was perfected YEARSSS ago. Awesome stuff.

[xXDMXxjake]

they are working on mounting this on a tank in about 15 to 20 years. already in testing

its a 300mm railgun on an abrams. Belt fed. Satguided shells. up to 2 rounds a second

LETS MAKE IRAQ LOOK LIKE GOATSEE TO THE ASTRONAUTS HURAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alias1107]

Awesome technology, had someone with a degree and some clothing presented it, I might've watched more than 30 seconds.

@2007ablack True f=ma, but Kinetic energy =mv^2

You want speed more than anything with projectiles.

[2007ablack]

F=ma, not F=ma squared. Still a biggie; very cool technology -- but aren't there likely to be air friction issues? I think the US military should be based on small high-tech capabilities and not traditional 20,000 men armored divisions.
