The US Railgun has officially crossed from theory into reality. The United States has announced that its long-discussed Railgun concept has entered the military deployment phase. This weapon uses no gunpowder and creates no explosion. Instead, it relies on electromagnetic force to launch solid metal projectiles at several times the speed of sound.

When fired, the projectile rips through the air purely through kinetic energy. The most unsettling part isn't the speed, it's the cost. A traditional missile can cost millions of dollars per shot. A railgun round requires only electricity and a simple metal slug. That single difference rewrites the logic of modern warfare. Saturation attacks are no longer limited by missile stockpiles, but by how much electrical power a nation can generate. This also creates a nightmare for

defense systems. Hypersonic projectiles leave almost no time to detect, track, or intercept. There may be no warning and no response window. The U.S. Department of Defense calls the railgun a defensive breakthrough. The U.S. Department of Defense calls the railgun a defensive breakthrough. This one shifts war from who has the most missiles to who controls the most energy.
