barrel wear on railguns makes them useless

2019-07-19 12:58:50 UTC  

No

2019-07-19 12:58:51 UTC  

a big enough object going fast enough will still leave a crater

2019-07-19 12:58:55 UTC  

You only need to Nuke Kremlin, Moscow and St. Petersburg

2019-07-19 12:58:56 UTC  

theyr'e cool, but useless

2019-07-19 12:58:59 UTC  
2019-07-19 12:58:59 UTC  

No

2019-07-19 12:59:01 UTC  

thats

2019-07-19 12:59:06 UTC  

why you get multiple barrels

2019-07-19 12:59:11 UTC  

And also

2019-07-19 12:59:11 UTC  

just like multiple rounds

2019-07-19 12:59:15 UTC  

reload the barrel

2019-07-19 12:59:30 UTC  

You can just not fire at such intensity for *every shot*

2019-07-19 12:59:32 UTC  

Sure, Russia has land, but it's mostly inhabited

2019-07-19 12:59:36 UTC  

**gatling railguns?**

2019-07-19 12:59:44 UTC  

pew pew pewpew pewpewpewpew

2019-07-19 12:59:47 UTC  

Having to replace barrel so often just is not practical

2019-07-19 12:59:48 UTC  

murica

2019-07-19 12:59:52 UTC  

Uhh

2019-07-19 12:59:54 UTC  

also

2019-07-19 13:00:00 UTC  

you're not going to be firing the railgun

2019-07-19 13:00:01 UTC  

very often

2019-07-19 13:00:04 UTC  

or at every target

2019-07-19 13:00:11 UTC  

just the big kahunas

2019-07-19 13:00:18 UTC  

cruise missiles are expensive

2019-07-19 13:00:20 UTC  

Really simple fellas

2019-07-19 13:00:21 UTC  

we're not firing them at everyone

2019-07-19 13:00:28 UTC  

and besides

2019-07-19 13:00:32 UTC  

Have the barrels be replacable, but keep the rails

2019-07-19 13:00:37 UTC  

the projectiles with railguns are very **inexpensive**

2019-07-19 13:00:44 UTC  

to offset the price of the barrels

2019-07-19 13:01:10 UTC  

Railgun projectiles are literally a chunk of metal

2019-07-19 13:01:14 UTC  

exactly

2019-07-19 13:01:15 UTC  

cheap

2019-07-19 13:01:19 UTC  

Besides, what are the biggest navel guns in widespread use currently?
For the british it's a meager 3 inch gun. Surely if there was need for something with more impact, they could fit something larger.

2019-07-19 13:01:41 UTC  

A railgun would destroy a destroyer in 1 shot probably

2019-07-19 13:01:42 UTC  

yeah, projectile is relatively cheaper. But the barrel is not.

2019-07-19 13:01:45 UTC  

Lets see

2019-07-19 13:01:46 UTC  

bruh

2019-07-19 13:01:49 UTC  

they were test firing
