China SECRETLY Building Electromagnetic Railgun for Surprising Fast Track

The army in China Secretly Building Electromagnetic is stepping up its railgun technology research, potentially looking at naval, land and small arms applications. Compared to conventional powder guns, railguns use electromagnetic energy to propel projectiles at up to seven times the speed of sound, and up to ten times the range of traditional guns. They are purely kinetic weapons, relying on hypersonic projectile velocities to inflict damage rather than explosive payloads.
