"Rail Gun" update

As we mentioned one wee ago in this post, FOXNews is reporting on their website that the Navy has released photos and a few details of one of the first tests of the new rail gun.

In the demonstration Thursday, engineers fired the electromagnetic railgun at what they said was a record power level: 10 megajoules.

Good job boys, that's at 31.25% of full capacity.  Time to go full power!!!!

On the bright side, here is a video of the test firing.

More news on this when it's available.
