Think its also a British designed one, or based on one.. Nope, just checked. The Yanks had a working BAE systems prototype railgun but lost interest before they got round to actually putting it on a ship.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've deployed energy weapons on one of their destroyers in the gulf. Tested it on airborne drones and small boats. The Chinese sent a bit of a shockwave through the defence community a few months back when they demonstrated the level of development of their rail gun tech. For whatever reason the US have let them gain dominance in that specific area. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
