US Navy railgun test fire. This is an extended-footage version of the official Navy video.
Rather than relying on an explosion to fire a projectile, the technology uses an electomagnetic current to accelerate a non-explosive bullet at several times the speed of sound. The conductive projectile zips along a set of electrically charged parallel rails and out of the barrel at speeds up to Mach 7. The result: a weapon that can hit a target 100 miles or more away within minutes.

Some folks forget that this is also designed to take down planes, missles and anything else that could possibly hurt the ship. The rounds are smaller, cheaper and easier to create. The ship can also hold exponentially more of the sabot rounds that the standard hi-x rounds. Imagine hitting someone from 200 miles away and they can neither track the round nor stop it.
That's crazy that the projectile is going so fast that it sounds like a gun shot.
Can you imagine how much electricity that thing consumes just to fire a shot?
The main thing holding back rail gun weapons is actually battery, capacitor, and heat vent technology.
That is soo awesome!
Thanks a lot!
Beautiful! So that's what they're installing on the USNS Trenton. I'd hate to be on the recieving end of one of those!
What am I, an Astronaut?
My left ear enjoyed the video, but my right ear got bored.
Interesting, the fire is caused by the air friction, and the canopy in the front is for partially absorbing the emmense shockwave, the projectile form is weird because part of it is formed to clasp on the launching part of the rail gun. Again. Interesting.
aby0ni The projectile form is pretty basic, what has a wierd format is the sabot, wich isn't really wierd considering some designs in use by tank cannons.
I like the siren going off at 2:00 as if someone in a live fire test would actually stand in front of that +30mj behemoth.
I hate the world a little bit more for the fact that the Halo reference got more thumbs up than your Metal Gear reference!
This is on reason why America has the best navy.
Admiral, charge MACs and plot firing solution on covenant vessel!
Hey santa, i know what i want for christmas. Nooo, not a teddy bear.
The two words America and Best never belong in the same sentence.
Now they need to build a Metal Gear and mount it
@AdamTheGuitarHero Those are shutters for the ventilation fans closing. Probably due to a change in air pressure.
You will notice General Atomics is printed on the fence. Those big blue boxes are signature for their capacitors, I think the system is assembled by BAE, and now the 2 companies each have their own contract to develop their own system.
@StaggnGuvnor i recently discovered that there were plans for a 20-30mj railgun made in the 1960s but they couldnt build it because it required half the energy that the whole of chicago uses! :O now that is some serious power hungry machine. I think they are more efficient now tho :)
@Discussd That's ridiculously intense lol.
true a gun/rocket is more efficient but while current Navy guns have a maximum range of 12 miles, rail guns can hit a target 250 miles away in six minutes.
theres probably tests to make a cooling gel for the heat.
but they're going to need a arc/nuclear reactor to power the electricity needed for it to work.
BEHOLD!! THE MASSIVE HARD ON GENERATOR
@lasercannon3 Projectile definitely breaks sound barrier. I think the ultimate goal is like a mach 7-8 projectile.
is that noise in 2:15 the weapon itself or the background because i hear it A LOT
Thunder and lightning!!
So will this plug into my regular wall outlet it am I going to have to unplug the dryer for this one?
I want that camera that follows the rail gun bullet!!
what was all the debris? is the 'bullet' encased? if so, why?
Actually a particle accelerator can do just that. Collide two particles together and they will be smashed into smaller particles and release gamma rays.
the siren warning reminds me of the old tv show the TIme Tunnel.
great... so you developed a railgun. my question to you now is, what is the shipping fee??
Soooo... when does production of Mammoth Tanks begin?
Hahaha! The fan vent covers fell off because of the gun XD
I was only going by wiki. But you are right its a pic.
@Mech610 I think someone mentioned 33MJ, that's 33 000 000 J!
Wow !!!! Great
Have a great day

at 2:07 wtf are those shutters above the hut doing? they open, but close again?
@Harvo154 Railgun uses a rail, coilgun uses a coil :)
@collink6 3.2 kg (7 pound) projectile to approximately 2.4 kilometres per second (5,400 mph). and im sure they are getting bigger and faster.
Hence the slogan, "I am speed and I destroy!"
There is still a "war" between the Brits and Americans; General Atomics is also developing a prototype railgun which will compete for the contract with the BAE systems one above (I'm guessing the above video is of the BAE launcher, it could be of the General Atomics one though, it doesn't say anywhere).
Neverless, this should still be a very important "tool" for the US/British navys!!
Like the one in Eraser?
This is the one being developed by the US navy, you can tell because it's better.
Does it come with a .22lr conversion kit? If so, *Dear Santa*
Magneto would have a field day with this weapon :)
Good video, but I wanted to see the target explode!
Now we can battle with buildings!
the concept of metal gear solid was soo true
I like how at 2:05 when the shot goes off the lights go out xD
What lights? You mean those 4 squares in the back? If so, those are air venting holes. You 'll see them later in the video form the inside. See at 2:35
@@RomboutVersluijs imagine my surprise when somebody responds to a comment I don't even remember making! Thanks for the clarification I guess 😂
@@AdamTheGuitarHero hahahah we all love watching youtube at night having a brewski to much ;)
Actually, it was french dude in the 1918's that came up with the idea, later the germans in the 1940's continued it, and then the US continued where they let off again. And so on and so on.
@1scott231 Considering the MASSIVE amounts of current and forces involved I dont think we will have handhold railguns...
oh? i thought that the power draw from the gun is so great that power is shut off to the complex for a second or so, because the fans were also running before the shot. maybe I'm wrong
Does it have a recoil?
@L00NGB00W ooooh.
Jeez, cuz they do look like windows!
@mat967: You do understand that a laser is just light? Shining a light on something is hardly the best way to destroy it.
Now to build something that will withstand that force 0_o
Hooray for magnets
@1scott231 Yep, pretty soon they'll only need a small warehouse instead of a large one.
pardon me I meant MJ, mj's are the submultiple millijoules. megajoules is probably the better SI notation.
I want one of those installed in my backyard.
hmm. i wonder do they come in rifle size?
is it not remotely possible that some may think a weapon of this power may require a large power supply, it probably does drain a huge amount of energy considering it is around 10-30mj in power.
DEAR SANTA......
notice that the fans spin from the electric field generated
........it's a piece of rebar being launched by a lightning bolt......what good are they ? You'd need a powerstation to shoot one, how are you gonna get that on a ship
do they make it has handgun? =P
@lasercannon3 Some arcs, but lots of sparks and the heat is very intense. Dust and stuff will burn.
I wonder if this weapon is fully operational, it be nice to put it on a TANK or artillery batteries... im just curious if there is an alien invasion and the alien ships have SHIELDS on them, will a RAIL GUN projectile be able to penetrate the shield? i sure hope s0.
Now just imagine what that would look like tearing through an aircraft carrier or a destroyer, or a building for that matter like they were warm butter. Just think of the kinetic energy that thing must have been carrying. God damn.
i dont think it can penetrate a air craft carrier if it could it wont be enough to sink it as it has hundreds of compartments
@TheArbiter6695 those are coil guns not railguns though
@Socalsway the bullets speed was 7800 Meters per second! twenty times faster than soundwaves !!!
@randomguy9898 they vent the ozone of of the room there is a big spark in one of the scenes ozone is toxic if you inhale alot
the projectile is just a dense metal rod. They are just accelerated really really fast due to the sudden change in magnetic flux (faraday-lenz law). watch?v=qWu82nJS42I the last part of this video explains how it works.
@VictorLepanto I would say lasers would be better at anti-missile.
Doesn't change the fact that it's funded and made for the U.S. Navy.
if you shot that upwards, probably at 50 degrees or so, would it penetrate the atmosphere?
No. Escape velocity on Earth is around mach 32, this projectile was traveling no more than mach 10 likely.
tomorow is my birthday can they deliver it whitin 24 hours?? XD
1:48 - Gravity? What is that?
Really humanity may not be ready.
Makes me think of supreme commander.
unless you are shooting at a target that only a railgun or laser can hope to hit. like a spacecraft for example. or a satellite.
Can i plug it into my car outlet?
Why is there recoil? i dont understand.
DUDE HOLY SHIT THAT'S SO COOL OH MY GOD.

Man, look at those huge blue caps, WOW I want one, Military Grade! When they charge that Capacitor Bank to full charge then they will fire a shot! Looks like their experimentating with different ordinances to figure out the best shape, greatest potential damage! Notice, everything is documented, everything!
FROM A SCIENTIFIC POINT OF VIEW, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY REASONABLE TO REJECT A BULLET JUST ONLY WITH MAGNETISM DUE TO SOME FACTORS, THE REJECT EFFECT IN SOME METALS IS LESS EFFECTIVE OBVIOUSLY THAT MAGNETS IT SELF, I DOUGHT SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN BE REASONABLE EXPLAIN BECAUSE ELECTROMAGNETISM DOES NOT REFLECT OR IMPULSE ANY METALS.
was it comparable? To me it is not because you are the first to put 4 wheel on a buggie that you are the king of the road
it takes a power plant just to fire this
Yes, Brits and Americans: working together to blow shit up more efficiently in the modern era. It's a lovely system :P
if 2012 is real and its an alien invasion THAT gun could be vary useful ;)
So when is this rail gun going to become an actual practical deployable weapon? An excellent anti-missile system in the making maybe.
@StaggnGuvnor OMFG....obviously, i was being sarcastic.....
Did you land on the moon?
Welcome to the new age in modern warfare!
its magnetic? why is there an explosion?! is it a fake?
its also good for removing steel splinters so theres your medical use
Could someone give me a short and fairly simplistic answer but at the same time covers the basic principals: What's the idea behind the design of the projectiles?
To answer your question the projectiles of a railgun travel around mach 10 (2 miles every second), to reduce the force of drag caused by the projectile traveling through the air the shape needs to be adjusted to lower the drag coefficient. If the projectile was more bullet shaped it would slow down quicker or heat up because of air friction and potentially melt. Hope this answered your question.
@@rossbanach8423 Wow, 10 years later, haha! Thanks for the answer mate. I've since increased my understanding of projectiles, but it's always nice to see a helping hand in the comment section =)
Rock on!
33 megajoules, all in a single burst.
About 3.3 gigawatts if said burst lasted 10 milliseconds.
@randomguy9898 there the cooling fans
What kind of a switch do they use
A stone pressurized plate
