Bit rusty on this but correct me if I am wrong (probably) but dont they fire depleted uranium slugs?
Thought the whole idea of a railgun was mass/kinetic energy?
I assure you , if yah got hit by a rubber ball going at mach 8 the result will be pretty much the same as an alumium slug.
:haha:
Soon we will have these mounted on the bottom of our spaceships.. Oh wait..
I think the bulk of the projectiles to date have been made of Tungsten. Either way if you can fire anything at Mach 10 with the current expected accuracy of a 5m target at 200 nautical miles....screw Tomahawk missiles these are CHEAP!
