    Updated Railgun Video

    This video can be found on DODbuzzcom. I haven't seen it posted on youtube, or I'd use that link instead, so this video may be transitory. Still, for those of you who remember last year's videos of General Atomics railgun firing flaming chunks of metal at Mach 5, this is a must see. The current round of testing features an aerodynamic projectile with a discarding sabot casing. Deployment on Arleigh Burke class destroyers within 7 years or so is claimed to be feasible.

    Awesome! Nuff said.
    I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.
