In 2011 I made a video about this kind of weapon and it's first test ( • RailGun Cannon Fire Test ). Today, after some years, we can FINALLY see the quite complete development!
The Electromagnetic Railgun it's an awesome gun that can fire up to mach 7 shells. The U.S. want's to implement this weapon on their ships. In this video you can find a collection of the tests from 2008 until now :)

I wonder if what you're seeing in the flash is the result of friction produced when the projectile is accelerated from 0 to 'holy cow' in half a nanosecond. That has to produce a lot of energy. It's funny to see them using FSDS (sabots) like we did on our 105mm main gun rounds in our ancient M60 tanks when I crewed on them. If it works, it works.

I'm not convinced I'll see railguns in active military service before I die.

And then there's the fact that individual rounds are not explosive and are so much smaller. Simply Amazing. A Navy Vet.

They would be firing rounds that weigh no more than 25Kg super sonic speeds and no explosives. The velocity of that railgun is 2400 meters per second. A 25Kg round would hit the target releasing the equivalent of 72 sticks of dynamite at the point of impact. Think about that. Your lack of imagination and vision is quite sad.

I remember in it's early stages, that they couldn't even develop a projectile strong enough to withstand the power of the energy used to shoot it. It would just break up. They finally have and will improve on it with further experiments. As you have noted in the video, the technical aspects of this gun are in their early stages, very complicated and would be too big to install on a ship or ground use just as the early laser technology and nuclear bombs had to be miniaturized for it's present use. Also what they're not telling you is, that once it's improved, it can hit a missile, plane or satellite seconds. Much faster than any rocket technology anywhere.

I designed and built a rail gun many years, 14 I think, ago very similar to this in technology and theory, but on a small scale of three feet long. Used carbon brushes on the projectile which burned up rapidly. Had to use two car batteries for power source. It did well as an experiment. Would send a 1.5 ounce rod about 40 feet. However, the 'barrel was self destructive due to the current flow. I used copper conductors which had to be cleaned between firings or would fail to conduct. This was just a hobby experiment. I thought feasible but only with technology I did not have. It was fun. Simple concept, but required current is very high.

I use this technology in a civil version under water to create a plasma channel followed by an shockwave that destroy sand cores in metal castings. There is no projectile fired. It is the electric energy stored in capacitores. When firering, it is the same effect like the explosion of an water bomb.

As a former artillery officer I can tell you that this has a very limited use without an explosive charge. With standard artillery the burst radius is about 50 meters for 155mm rounds. If this railgun can't shoot an explosive round it will have to hit the target every time which isn't what artillery does unless it can see the target directly in front of it. Therefore, it is the equivalent of a tank round which can hit a target at further distances.

So the flames and maybe the noise makes sense but what about the smoke? To me that seems like they are using gunpowder to assist in some way. The use of Gunpowder would explain the short barrel as well. As a slightly longer barrel would be required to have enough penetrating speed to do what a rail gun is needed to do as it would be simple to add more or better armor to a vehicle and make themselves harder to destroy.

@r.awilliams9815 6 жыл бұрын

Micheal Moody-The smoke is from the rails vaporizing to some degree. The rails will have a limited round life before needing replacement, and no one official seems to want to talk about rail life and round count on these rail guns.
