"We were launching hypersonic bricks at Mach 5."
Time to meet the newest entry into the Rail Gun game, a hot topic among defense contractors the world over. This video features the testing of a new gun and dear god the power of the thing is utterly terrifying! You can shoot through an inch of steel AND THEN kill a target up to 7 miles away!!!
I want one...

hmmm no talk of refire capability. As I understand the biggest issue with railguns is that they tend to tear themselves apart after a few shots requiring major overhaul.
