I just watched a u tube on a rail gun test by NAVSEA. Flames everywhere. What? What’s with a the fire and brimstone I wasn’t expecting that.

I believe that NAVSEA test was done in 2012 with very un-aerodynamic slugs.

Try the one from 2013 and later with the more aerodynamic rounds.

...and watch this one. where two protytpes are seen on the US Navy JHSV that may test one of them this summer.
