Navy tests E-M rail gun - will fire shells 9K kph, 320 km (video)
- eof 15y agoHow about a "rail gun" for shooting things into orbit?
- Atrus6 15y agoNot much would survive that sort of acceleration.
- coryl 15y agoUhh, what exactly can you accurately hit at 320km?
- waterlesscloud 15y agoWith a smart payload capable of self-adjusting? Quite a lot.
- coryl 15y agoWell, I didn't see/hear anything about what they were firing, so I assumed they were dumb bombs or shells. Those launches look pretty violent, could a piece a with rocketry or electronic guiding systems survive a blast like that?
- cmaxwell 15y agoHow is this news? I had a rail gun in UT
