And not replace the rest

HOWEVER

@leavethisbotnet wait a second

@leavethisbotnet a well-aimed one can

good luck finding that stationary target

It doesnt have to be

even if it's a fast round, the travel time is still very much not trivial

ppfffftttt railguns

Railgun shots dont need any leading

At all

It goes at mach 7

we have giant drones with fucking missiles on them <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

1.5 kilometers a second

that's the speed when it leaves barrel, no?

drones the size of normal aircraft

No shit

it probably slows down significantly after that

ye

covered in vantablack

No

so does everything

so they arent detectable

Alright

This guy is literally talking out his ass

if you would like a comparison

Time to stop taking him seriously

it can reach 2500m/s

a 16" gun has a muzzle velocity of 760 m/s

@leavethisbotnet three incher?

are you guys normalizing the us military

Yes? What's with a three incher?

wrong person for a three incher?

sorry

Ship sniping guns.

Theyr'e on hte type 25 and 41 I think

the idea of the railgun seems to be for intercepting missiles

not to do much damage

but to prevent it

Even with 2500m/s, it's gonna take seconds to reach the target, so you can't snipe with pinpoint accuracy
