The US navy has a railgun that can shoot projectiles at up to 5,000mph. To fire, the gun needs 25megawatts of electricity - but most battleships only have nine. The impact can be measured at up to 32,000,000 joules.Jan 4, 2019');})();(function(){window.jsl.dh('_XolnYJWwM4_4-gT9maSIAg52','
A railgun is powered by electricity and therefore doesn't qualify as a firearm. ... Also it is NOT against the law to make actual firearms without a license, provided you are not prohibited to own firearms, and you are not engaged in business (meaning making it with the intent of selling it).
