Whackmiester, while I am concerned with the disgusting amount of cash that goes into weapons research I must inform you that a rail gun is not a laser. It is, at least in concept, an array of electro magnets that accelerates a metal projectile to extremely high speeds. It's also referred to as a mass driver cannon. Oh yeah, what's the purpose of a gun firing bullets at 1,000,000 rounds per minute? Is this anti-personel weaponry or anti-vehicle weaponry?
