@@michaelmccarthy4615 there is nothing advanced about using consumer drones to drop grenades, the words you're looking for are resourceful or scrappy. The tech itself is very basic considering anyone could pretty easily replicate that. As far as the rail gun, while the concept itself is old, an effective rail gun is incredibly advanced tech. It isn't just "launching solid projectiles", it's using extremely strong electromagnetic energy to accurately and repeatedly launch relatively cheap and powerful projectiles without the need for explosives. It's much cheaper per round, safer for crew, easier to manage logistically, faster to target, harder to shoot down, and has greater range than many missiles. That said, it still has a ways to go to perfect, some of the issues they've faced are maintaining the integrity of the barrels after firing such powerful rounds, and having the necessary power to fire each round. The Zumwalt has enough power onboard but they cancelled that ship so they're now looking to make it work on other ships. It may end up that they decide not to pursue it and just focus on things like hypersonics, but that remains to be seen.

Electric powered guns sound cool

Rail guns won't be ready for deployment until the durability problems of the launch mechanism can be solved.

For now, the USN has something of a "feeder system" which provides nuclear engineers to the private sector. This aids in the development of SMRs (small modular reactors) for potential use in a variety of scenarios. This nuclear industry segment is still in its infancy due to the inevitable cost overruns which have plagued this technology for decades.

The best nuclear engineers do not go to the US Navy because the Navy can not compete with salaries that other companies in the civilian sector offer. This has actually been a huge issue in navy recruitment because the navy simply CANT compete for nuclear engineers.

Like the guy above mentioned KE equals .5 xv squared. So if you consider a 20 lb object moving at 8000 ft per second thats 10x 8000x8000 equals 640 000 000 ft lbs of energy. Thats a noticeable amount of energy. Upon contact with a target say your typical warship of today the projectile would easily pass completely through the ship....any ship leaving plasma hot shards and a hole in its wake. Along with a considerable shock wake. If it happened to hit the reactor room in a nuclear carrier you could briefly observe a runaway melt down before the core burned a hole in the bottom of the carrier. If the projectile hit an aircraft likely youd see a fireball with duralumin scraps falling out of it.

You would be considered a marksman if you could take down your target with the first pull of the trigger, especially a fast moving airplane. However, it will be devastating when it finds its mark. I’ve seen them in action and I sure as hell wouldn’t get in its way. They are very serious weapons.

⁠@@bartpalermo6576. It can do severe damage if it locks on which can be a problem for the gunner. Thank goodness for tracers. It’s not usually used for fast moving aircraft. More for use against ground troops and some armor and smaller boats. You could harass a destroyer but you won’t sink it. The crew of the destroyer would destroy your less protected ship before you could blink twice. Keep in mind that a moving tank or a ship at sea has to compensate for rough terrain or fighting waves. There is no such thing as pool table flatness

Wonder how far they can shoot a projectile in to space

rail gun is difficult to hit its target if sea condition is not good.

I find it incredible that human beings alive today, actually believe the Earth beneath their feet, moves more than 10 times faster than one of these things, and carries the atmosphere along with it, whilst also rotating a mere Mach 1.35, and the atmosphere just moves with us as though we're perfectly still. I mean, insanity isn't for everyone. Just the majority who believe in the ancient superstitious religion of Heliocentrism.

So these are deemed not feasible. The problem isn't just the amount of power they require, it's also that these launch systems generate so much force in launching a projectile they rip themselves apart. The ONLY way these are feasible NOW is land based systems. PERIOD.

I assume this would not work on moving targets given the complexity of determining where the target will be when the projectile is fired from tens of miles away. Also, how to they account for the curvature of the earth over such great distances. It does not appear that the trajectory of the projectile can be altered once it leaves the gun.

@JonMartinYXD

4 ай бұрын

Accurate long range fire at moving targets was solved with the advent of digital computers. Your phone can do the necessary calculations. Snipers carry a computer a bit bigger than a phone (has to be rugged) that even takes the rotation of the Earth into account. The real problem with railguns is that they burn out the "barrel" (rails) after a handful of shots. Fixing this requires taking the entire weapon apart and replacing the rails. That is precision work so it cannot be done at sea. The US Navy stopped working on railguns in 2021.
