NAVY Tests SciFi Weapon

The NAVY is now testing their new weapon that has been in development; the railgun. A weapon of science fiction is becoming a reality as the NAVY moves closer to deploying this weapon in 2020. The railgun has a capacity to launch at 32 megajoules of energy. This is a weapon that does not use explosives but rather kinetic energy in order to destroy the target.



The picture above shows the projectile impacting the target, pretty ridiculous if you realize that there is no explosive in the projectile. Quite the damage caused, but such can be expected from something traveling at Mach 5 (3700 mph)
