>>13240787Gee anon, I don't know, imagine having a weapon system capable of delivering a payload at hypersonic speeds over the horizon, at fraction of the cost of a cruise missile.
Like I said, as of right now, not feasible but War is the engine of progress, as soon as a need for something like this arise, you'd bet we would be slinging rods from God at eacother in no time
It's just the idiots going 'ur dumb, new bad' and not realising that it took 65 years from fist powered flight of 36m to landing a human on a face of the fucking moon.
>>13240871This anon gets it. It's too new to be of much use right now, but if something like new alloys are made, and better power systems developed to bridge gap between a conventional artillery pieces and rail guns it would be a no brainer to switch to superior system.
It's the difference between Poudre B and black powder.
I'm not even saying we're gonna live to see it in our time I'm saying that idiots going 'nah, never' and being so sure of it are fucking stupid.
