Sep 5, 2008 - Good luck making one and ironing out the massive problems with it.

Sep 5, 2008 - waste of money

Sep 5, 2008 - fuck yeah im never gonna go outside again and get sickif your twisted logic worked it would be possible to live forever

Sep 5, 2008 - Neither of those problems is the government's responsibility. Its the problem of the parents of the child. There are already numerous programs to help children in need including many funded by the goverenment. Ultimately its the responsibility of the damn parents who are supposed to be determining the welfare and education for the kid. Not a politician or health care unit owned by the lowest bidder. You also fail to mention the govt paid salary that will feed these guys families.

Sep 5, 2008 - "What about children with cancer, or a baby born with AIDS?"A child born with "AIDS" would obviously already have compromised immune system from its mother, otherwise they would just have "HIV", which means AGAIN somebody is not minding their personal health. Also, with HIV, a fully functioning immune system from the mother will give the child a great chance at a normal life. Do you personally know somebody with HIV? I do, and the cancer problem is not much different. YOU are the ignorant one!

Sep 5, 2008 - Looks like you dont need to hit the head for that one to kill. Damn you quake!

BlaznaznTerror Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Most of you fail for going so far offtopic.

Bound4War Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - agreed

franknyt Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - I prefer the obliterater even though reload takes for fucking ever.

franknyt Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Only if its American made by way of China.

Lightslay Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Not to mention the shrapnel...

Lightslay Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - There are cures for all of those things.The first and second are just either incredibly expensive or dangerous to the person.For the last, go to a pharmacy you dumb fuck.

Sep 5, 2008 - One of the biggest application I could see is satellite launching at very low cost: this thing is the kind of launcher Gerald Bull should af aimed because it has no "excessive pressure" breech issues

amswak2000 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - The force on the rails is immense and to date there are no high power railguns that do not require a full rebuilt of the rails after each fire. As the projectile travels down the rails, is forms plasma arcs with the rails which damages them and prevents the same rails from being used again. Not only that, but few electronic devices that can handle the extremely high acceleration in a railgun of any reasonable length. We are trying to find applications for the technology though...

Staaanky Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - What would happen if before it entered the rail chamber is was fired though artillery or something, is that possible?

LSLencrypted Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - It's being explosively injected into the rail area so it is in fact "fired" and then sped up as i understand it.

LockeH27 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - i need an explination on what the flame-like stuff behind the projectile is...if the gun uses no chemeical propellants than what is that? ignighted impuretes in the air form the haet?

Helge129 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - No, the projectile is "pressed" between the rails, then the rails are put under high voltage and create the lorenz force, which will accelerate the projectile in no time from 0 to 10000 km/h...

stillbillwill Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - Locke the stuff is plasma from vaporization of wat i think is foil that they place at the back of the projectile

LockeH27 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - thank you....i thought it was just plasma from the impurites in the air like the exess gasses and stray random particles

leonzhell Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - guys can anyone explain this railgun theory or how it works..

leonzhell Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - how does it goes in a steady velocity?

wiremother Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - In re leptorosi's comment, it's also essentially a line of sight weapon, it doesn't lob an explosive, it's destructive power is purely Newtons at work...Down from above.

vgdd4 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - you mean instantaneously?

Helge129 Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - No, actually this will spare money. Firing chunks of metal is cheaper than normal ammo.
