Navarone, Meet Gun
Feb. 4th, 2008 01:41 pmNavy Demonstrates World's Most Powerful EMRG at 10 Megajoules
US Navy | Feb 4, 2008
DAHLGREN, Va: The Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) successfully conducted a record-setting firing of an electromagnetic rail gun at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren.
An invited audience, including the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, who witnessed this revolutionary technology in action.( I Believe I Have You Outgunned! )
That's about 235 standard miles, or almost 400 kilometers for you guys in Metric nations. That's like shooting a gun in Boston and hitting downtown Manhattan (don't get any ideas, Patriots fans!).
