Yes. Electromagnets accelerate a piece of metal to stupendous speeds. When the piece of metal hits its target, the energy transfer instantly melts the projectile, making it a spear of molten metal--very much the same idea as the sabot round which modern tanks fire.
Ah thanks. That's all I needed to know. I read on Wikipedia about it, but it was too much mumbo jumbo technical nonsense with a pinch of gibberish. Much appreciated
I will hereby leave this topic in the hands of the capable moderators.
You guys every heard of that gun made by an Australian company called Metal Storm? I saw it on that Future Weapons show on Discovery.
It's totally electronic and has 36 barrels with the fastest firing rate of any gun every made.
And they also have a 3 barreled handgun that's completely electronic.
ohhh yea...Metal Storm..i saw it too on Future Weapons...wow..awesome. no way anyone or anything can escape that. its pure genius..and its pure evil. it can blanket an entire area with metal slugs coming down at incredible speeds..also based electrical firing tech.
