Interesting if the railgun vs. developments in hypersonic missiles will be the future. Imagine a railgun battleship armed with a dozen of these. :0

Pretty neat. However, I’m waiting for Ray guns to be invented!

Hopefully, these star war guns will/can be used against the ISIS serial killers.

A larger or longer version that could lower the G forces, might be usable to launch a payload to sub-orbital and thus be able to strike just about anywhere. While such a payload is not yet a viable option, it would make for one serious weapon system.

100 miles is impressive, but still fairly short range.

I’d like to see something other than the contractor’s (and the Admiral’s) slick sheet.

It’s great to see the unveiling of this platform, but any weapon is useless without the political will to use it.

I believe they mostly will be used to destroy satellites.
