I want to see development of a railgun that launches nuclear weapons.

Exactly! The other night they were saying how lame it was that he didn’t provide shrapnel materials like bolts and things, to cause more damage.
I’m sitting there with my jaw dropped, thinking I’d like to hit the announcer in the head with a hammer.
“Well they had a nuclear weapon, but they forgot this one little piece or it would have worked. Go to www.?????.com. We have a diagram there for you to review”

“Two million amps.”
Adding power to the old adage that its not the watts that kills you, its the amps.

These things are old news. I remember reading about them half a century ago in a publication called Astounding.

It can fire to the horizon in 6 seconds?
Soooo... ~= 23 miles in six seconds.
No kidding it doesn't need explosives. Anything it hits will itself become an explosive.
I wouldn't want to be inside a mile or two of whatever gets hit with something traveling that speed. That projectile would blow a blacksmith's anvil to pebble sized fragments and launch them a mile in all directions, I bet.

Maybe not; it might just go through the anvil. {and spew a lot of molten-iron out the ‘exit wound.’}

I did some thinking about what would likely happen, and I still think that cast iron anvil would be shattered and blown to Hell and gone.

>Obamas policies may spur nuclear proliferation
Looks like we have a situation in need of a field test. ;)
