[QUOTE="jurgen36, post: 31368, member: 805"] [b]Re: Navy railgun[/b] Actually the nasty Germans during WW2 were experimenting with rail guns at the French coast but then gave it away as impractical due to the large required electricity for the electromagnets. I do agree it could be used in space if you have nuclear power plants to charge your batteries. A direct connection to a power plant would be highly impractical due to the nature of the load in short pulses.
