I want a Railgun

Navy sets record for highest muzzle energy, 33 megajoules with this Rail gun

Wonder what laws cover these devices? I've seen (online) a handheld unit using lipoly throwing metal darts, but in the barely-lethal energy range.

H.

I bet they classify them as Destructive Devices, at least. Now they just need to figure out a tiny fusion reactor for power, and build them the size of an AR.

History channel had something about these in space. Makes sense with no oxygen or gas required. Betcha it would travel a HUGE distance.

Ever see this? Way back in 1991! Hyper Kinetic Kill Vehicle (HKKV)

PS Please don't shoot at my friends.

no kidding, this is way old.

I had a GAUSS rifle custom mounted on my first mech back in junior high.

used it until I could afford to upgrade to an ERPPC.
