In Response To: Re: Problems with your theories... (Louis Wu) Just to add some interesting details to the discussion, I believe that the US Navy already has a battleship with railguns. I'm not sure which one it is, but I heard that they did this a while back from a good source. Also, aside from shotgun shells, I believe that most modern bullets use a C4 variant for the explosive propulsion. Could be wrong on this one, though. As for the homing weapons, take a look at the Sci-Fi book _Patton's_Spaceship_ by John Barnes. The weapon the protagonist uses is quite similar to what has been described, here. ;-) ~Kinescope |
