Made famous by the id Software classic Quake, the US Navy has revealed that it’s working on a similar device. An 8-megajoule railgun was both created and fired by the Navy in 2007. The gun was also showcased at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Virginia. The 8-megajoule, electricity guzzling monster-gun can propel non-explosive projectiles at incredible speeds. The weapon is powerful enough to equal the damage inflicted by a Tomahawk cruise missile, and a range between 200 and 250 nautical-miles. The US Navy plans to deploy a 64-megajoule version by 2020.
