This scares me.
A real freaking railgun. I can't believe this really exists.

Sounds amazing, but I can't believe this is real. Too good to be true almost.

Re: This scares me.
So what Happens if you shoot it at a Ford Taurus traveling at 380 mph?

Nations are like individuals: they achieve more when they plan to plant a tiny tree, and do it, than when they propose to raise an entire forest and then fall asleep in the furrows.

Re: This scares me.
Then it would be equivilent to 2 Ford Taurus's hitting eachother going 380mph, which turns into a big ball of metal that nobody knows is a Ford Taurus in the end. I would like to see an actual Ford fired at a battleship going 380mph, if you can get one going that fast.

Re: This scares me.
Just put "railgun" in your favorite search engine. There are tons of people that have built them. They mostly fire aluminum projectiles from what I gather and they take a HUGE amount of energy. Cool stuff.

Cool railgun! I would pay $1000 for one that could shoot my friend's Taurus into the ocean.

Re: This scares me.
That's all fine and dandy, but where's the man-portable version? It'd have to be small enough to fit into my waist band, so I can go "Gangsta Style".

If at first you don't succeed, you need more firepower.
There is nothing wrong with feeling something when you shoot your enemies... as long as that something is recoil.

Re: This scares me.
The most appealing side of this gun is that it rids us of Ford Taurusses.....
