AMERICAN NAVY TO USE RAIL GUNS


Will India become a super power in 2020? Yes, thats is a big question but the stage seems set for America to stay at the top.The U.S. Navy plans to install its new "Rail Gun" in it's ships by 2020.The secret is that the gun uses sheer kinectic energy to destroy its targets instead of explosives and the ships need not carry tons of explosives. The rail gun uses Magnetic Rails which travels at mach 5 to hit a target and this is defenitely faster than most of the fighter aircrafts available. Really cool isnt it?
