For those of you who were Quake players in your youth....

Shit just got real.



There is a video (not super interesting), but still worth a watch.

Well the idea behind this thing is that the rounds are not explosive, so having these on battle ships makes it slightly safer. IE There cant be any accidental explosions due to the rounds this gun shoots. Also the current deck guns on military vessels can reach what... 30 or 50 miles? These rail guns currently can accurately hit a target at up to 100 miles away. They are attempting to have them reach up to 200 miles.

Things are pretty damn crazy and some really cool technology if you ask me.
