Work or get put in a cage doesn't sound like forced submission to you? That is quite a unique distinction.....

Ok guys, I appreciate you patronizing this thread, but this conversation is threatening to get it shipped off to DC if it goes on much longer... and it was never intended to go there
Please try to get it back on track |

Granted I am not an expert on rail guns but I do know the Reader's Digest version. At this point they seem like much more hype and keeping up with the Jones' more than a practical weapon of war. A big, ugly, impractical, glorified cannon is the last thing I'm worried about when it comes to the Chinese.They should have just mounted Rosie O'Donnell to the deck.

Didn't mean to say that the rail gun will never be practical but right now (the technology info I have access to anyway) it looks to me like it's in the early development stage which makes it impractical due to it's sheer size and energy requirements. But the info I have access to is limited to the internet so...
If anyone knows more than I do I'm certainly open to learning more about the technology. |
