Naval Railgun
Naval Railgun
I’ve seen an article that Naval railgun are a dud, a false good idea… but I lost it in my feed and wasn’t able to read it.
Do some of you have an article, a research or an opinion on the matter ?

I think rail guns and fusion reactors are in the same category: working on it, but we're missing a specific piece of information.
Rail guns need a lot of power and the capacitors are slow to charge. Fix those issue and it's probably viable. The US proved it was a powerful weapon that is accurate, and can be mounted on a ship. Problem is that the rate.of fire was minutes between shots, where current warfare says that if you don't have an x/min fire rate, you dead.
Don’t understand fusion enough to say what's the knowledge gap but again it's one of those things that aren't viable yet but we are close.

Basically, the tech isn’t there to power it, and also the “barrel” breaks down way faster than traditional guns
