INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Chinese navy’s rail gun has shocked the world
It was mounted on a ship as early as 2018 – the first ever on the planet – and was widely viewed as a coup for China’s future weapon
technology.
But power has become its curse
When the current is too strong, metal liquefies
Shells are capped at 15kg (33lbs).
It is too light to sink a ship
Now the army has stepped in
Their solution: cross-stacking two rail guns into one.
This will nearly double the force
