-- Posted by Ashtrey8 at 9:32 am on Sep. 25, 2008 I know that railguns and coilguns both work on a principle of acceleration through electricity or coils. However, seeing as the current technology is only using metal projectiles for their prototypes, do you think it's a reasonable assumption that they'd advance to over-charging a battery-like principle in a bullet that upon impact releases an electro magnetic pulse, simulair to what nuclear weapons have as an unexpected side-effect? I don't know.. I just thought that it's very well possible.. -- Posted by Ashtrey8 at 9:36 am on Sep. 25, 2008 Why the fuck do I think nobody will reply to this? -- Posted by shadowpool at 9:40 am on Sep. 25, 2008 http://www.amazing1.com/emp.htm -- Posted by Natsy at 9:42 am on Sep. 25, 2008 yep... -- Posted by Ashtrey8 at 9:45 am on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from shadowpool at 9:40 am on Sep. 25, 2008 http://www.amazing1.com/emp.htm Lol.. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 11:25 am on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 12:32 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 I know that railguns and coilguns both work on a principle of acceleration through electricity or coils.

Yes that's quite possible and it'd be an awesome weapon, shoot a tank or something and fry the electronics in it. -- Posted by Ashtrey8 at 12:26 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 11:25 am on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from Ashtrey8 at 12:32 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 I know that railguns and coilguns both work on a principle of acceleration through electricity or coils.

Exactly, more humane too, as it's occupants remains safe. You just take out their weapons.
