  1. Rae West It does not, you are talking about the ammo for the Advanced Gun System, which is a conventional artillery piece with rocket assisted guided rounds. The Advanced Gun System IS NOT A RAIL GUN. Please know what you are talking about before you comment on the subject.

  2. Says the armchair admiral who has probably never set foot on a real navy ship.

  3. When you are fighting insurgents, you guys bought the PERFECT aircraft. You do not need super expensive aircraft that cost a lot of money to maintain to bomb insurgents. Something the USAF has learned the hard way. This was a GOOD decision by your leadership, not a corrupt one.

  5. Fail gun ammo costs 800,000 per round.....BULLSHIT http://www.defensetech.org/2014/01/16/navy-rail-gun-showing-promise/ try about 25,000

  6. Rae West The SPECIFIC round you are mistakenly saying is a rail gun is the LRLAP round for the advanced gun system. That particular round has been canceled due to how expensive it is ...ie 800,000 to 1 million a round. http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_61-62_ags.php Again please do some research and make sure you know what you are talking about before commenting.

  7. Rae West The Zumwalt's produce 74 megawatts of power so they have plenty of power. The whole purpose of the development of the rail gun is to increase reliability and durability. Sure barrels will have to be replaced but that goes for all artillery pieces. I served on the USS Iowa in the late 80's. Our 16 inch guns had to have their barrel liners replaced every 250 rounds. The rail gun is a evolutionary leap forward in projectile technology. Getting it to work properly won't happen overnight.

  8. wino0000006 OK I am going to let you think about what you said for a minute. You just said that rail guns can not shoot over the horizon. Do you REALLY think that some of the best engineers in the WORLD would be working on a project like that if they couldn't make it shoot over the horizon? That is foolish on your part to suggest such a thing. The rail gun can destroy bunkers and buikdings. The damage from the kinetic energy alone will destroy structures. Also the rounds for the rail gun will be guided.
