  1. If a railgun can fling a shell, an EM captapult can fling a plane off the deck. :)

    This gives me the image of an F14 flipping end over end. Which also entertained me for a few minutes. anyway, The railgun will not fire straight up and decend on a traget, because you can not get electrical equipment which can withstand spontaneus combustion from friction with the atmosphere. It other words, they cant put a guidance mechanism in it, as well as fins/etc. This will almost certainly be a direct fire weapon with a long effective range and kinetic force. The comment "Our point is that if you put millions of joules of energy onto a traget something is going to happen" seems like a reasonable explanation of this weapon. Its meant to rip 30 foot pieces of metal off ships.

  2. It looks.........European. Thats bad. The other problem with the high collar is that its a bigger target for hot brass going down your clothes.....not fun. One other thing you've got to think about with the velcro is that in the heat of battle, it makes noise, becuase you are going to try to get a fresh mag in your gun ASAP. And that means noise. And the camo pattern..........I don't know and I have no oppinion.
