The projectiles are saboted solid metal darts Note that at those ranges they are probably using sub-orbital trajectories, so less drag in near-space conditions giving a big boost to range thanks to intial speed getting them up there Talk is they can get speed and range up to 500 miles and impact energy equal to an 8 inch shell with a 4 inch rial gun Safe storage and manufacture of explosive weapons is a major headache, it's the fuses that are the real nightmareĬapacitors of such power are no joke either but not to the extent of the risks of fuses etcĪ 4 inch rail gun will hit with the same energy as a 6 inch artillery shell but with a range of over 100 miles where as conventional 4 inch gun has a range of maybe 5 miles (or more using special shells).Ī conventional 6 inch/155mm gun has a range of abotu 14 miles. So the USA's Navy plans on replacing it's dangerous explosive filled and explosive powered shells, with solid tungsten steel darts propelled by electricity, which should be a hell of a lot more efficient and safer That "squared" part of the quation is why Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in space :PĪnd why morons who insist on speeding in cars on roads with innocent people are selfish moronic JACKASSES! Rail gun projectiles that we have today go at 5,000+ mphĪ 5,000mph projectile has one HELL of an impact. Rifle bullets are usually about 1,200 mph (super sonic speed) Light kind of sort of in a weird "timey wimey wibbly wobbley way", has mass, too.sort of.or mostly notįallout 4's "gauss gun" is either a "coil gun" or a "rail gun", presumably a coil gun using magnets by description.īoth use electromagnetism to accelerate metal slugs to *hyper* sonic speeds Strictly speaking, electricity, that is ELECTRONS, do have mass Bethesda is involved in both games so odds are they were behind that one. No one said anything about ripping anything off.
Electricity has mass as well as it is energy, also physical. That's a very uneducated accusation you have there. Just because they look slightly similar (and honestly they both remind me more of a Bentusi ship from Homeworld than anything else) doesn't really make for a rip-off.Īnd besides that Doom's being published by Bethesda so there's no risk of copyright infringement anyway (if there was, it would all be sorted out internally between Bethesda and id Software ages ago). The Tesla Gun's shots also arc to nearby targets, which the Gauss does not to. The Tesla Gun in Fallout 4 fires raw lightning bolts - a Gauss Rifle has an actual, phsical projectile in it. It pulls back the 2nd set of coils to create a Gauss rifle effect.
