The Navy's new Prototype Railgun, only uses electricity to fire the slug, all the fire you see is the slug actually disinegrating in the air because it's going so fast.

It's going to have capabilities of more than 8,000 meters a second, able to hit targets 200 miles away in less than 5 minutes.

Want to know what the best part is? The system has a estimated output of 32 megajoules, this is only a 10 megajoule load behind this projectile.

I'm just gonna wait till they have hand-held ones that can blast through 10 people standing in a line so we can have unreal tournaments.
