Navy fires 33 megajoule Mach 7 electromagnetic rail-gun

Feel da' power....they want to put this on ships. eek.gif It goes at least 100 miles.

 

 

"A single megajoule is roughly equivalent to a 1-ton car traveling at 100 mph. Multiple that by 33 and you get a picture of what would happen when such a weapon hits a target."

That's crazy. They should make a clip of what happens when the projectile hits something.

They can't. The "something" of the equation would no longer be in existence. 

 

 

Speaking of which, any one know where I can find a list of local dealers?

 

More cowbell.

That's exactly what I want to see. evil_smiley.gif

 

I'm sure they can put something (giant concrete block?) in a very isolated place (desert?) and just shoot it. BANG!
