America is getting straight-up rail-cucked.
China is one-upping America in terms of cool sci-fi shit, and that should make you very, very angry.
Railguns are the sort of thing you’d expect to see on spaceships – or Gundams. It’s the manifest destiny of the White man to start using railguns to shoot down alien motherships or repress colonial insurrections.
If it weren’t for the Jews squandering all our resources on brown people and women, we’d all have railguns on our cars by now – never mind our battleships.
China has put a railgun on a warship. That sentence alone might trigger the heebie-jeebies in some members of the American military. It’s the first time any nation has ever put such a powerful gun on a warship. But there’s more to the story than that.
That’s… so embarrassing.
America’s been working on railgun tech for years.
And yet, somehow, these shifty slant-eyes managed to beat us to the punch.
The physics behind the railgun are particularly impressive. Since the specially designed “bullets” are 22lbs each and are capable of traveling about 100 miles at Mach 7 speeds (approx. 5,300mph), the bullets have to be fired with an extreme amount of energy: about 32 megajoules. That’s about enough energy to propel a 1 ton object at 566mph, so, to give you a rough idea of how powerful this thing is: it’s like giving something the size of a basketball the speed (and ultimately destructive power) of a 747.
Yes. It’s awesome, and I want one.
Yet the navy, under the pretense of it “using too much power,” dropped the ball big-time.
If it uses too much power, just put a nuclear reactor on the ship, jeez. It’s like these people don’t realize just how cool railguns are.
Trivial things like power consumption mean nothing before the almighty power of the railgun.
While we can’t do much (save for interchanging the lyrics to Aerosmith’s “Janie’s Got a Gun” to “China’s got a gun”), we can rest somewhat assured that the railgun might not actually work. Fancy though it may be, it’s not easy to get a machine this powerful to fire at a target. The American military had up until fairly recently working on railgun technology but since dropped it in favor of more short-range weaponry; it looks like China was watching pretty closely and picked up the ball where America either lost interest or lost focus.
Sigh…
So, should anyone be worried? Maybe. It could be a while until the railgun actually gets used, and if certain Big Thinkers are to be believed this is more-so the kind of show-off weapon that is built mostly as a deterrent and/or status symbol.
Of course it’s a show-off weapon!
Having a railgun is like having a friggin’ death star! You get it so that people know not to mess with you!
Let’s not build a death star. After all, it uses too much power. It’s just a show-off weapon.
Our military seriously needs to get their priorities straight. We need new leadership which understands the pressing need for cool sci-fi weaponry.
