Battlestar Galactica Railguns: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:54, 19 April 2020

Another form of MAW is a railgun. These large weapons use magnetic acceleration to propel an electrically conductive projectile. On a large vessel such as the Galactica, which houses a massive electromagnetic power plant (for both synthetic gravity and FTL needs), railguns can be devastating. Small spacecraft can’t support railguns. Only the largest planetary vehicles, such as an aircraft carrier or naval destroyer would possesses such armaments, and even then only rarely.
