Video: Electromagnetic Railgun



Okay. It's not art, but I do love me some sci-fi armaments.

Conceptually, railguns are pretty simple. Powered by electricity, a railgun propels a projectile to speeds exceeding mach 7. An article in Foreign Policy covers some of the details of the weapon's development down through the years. While many have doubted the feasibility of such weapons, view are changing quickly. This latest incarnation looks especially effective. The destruction is certainly an impressive sight to behold, especially what it does to that truck.
