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

aye

Potentially damage a critical system

which is why they're trying to guide it

also these things puncture like hell

man guys i shoulda went to sleep

just as the bullet led to the end of metal armor

fuuuck

the railgun may become the yeeter of metal warships

(not that they'll stop making em but you get the point)

Anti shipping missiles already did away with thick armor belts

fuck you

the point is

also subs, probably

they yote things accurately and at great range

I was looking at how many subs Iran has and shit is scary.

ergo, missile defense. whenever they figure out how to guide the missiles

i mean we literally have helicopters that are undetectable on radar <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

I doubtthat

we do

If it doesn't pierce completely through, you don't simply remove a railgun round.

post evidence

they used one and it crashed when killing bin laden

@Grok so wot

the world had never seen a helicopter like that until the mistake

I mean, the whole marketing of "stealth" is a scam. It's more like, it somewhat reduces the detection distance from certain angles, under certain conditions

its coated in vantablack with extremely sharp edges
