Railguns

Railguns are a weapon that use Electromagnetic propulsion to launch projectiles at higher velocities and for longer distances than conventional artillery.
General Atomics began developing railguns for the U.S. Navy in the early 2000s. The U.S. Navy tested experimental railguns against Houthi rebels in the Yemen with devastating effect in early September 2016. By 2025, railguns were in active service with the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army as well as the militaries of several other nations including the China, Russia, the UIR, India, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea and Israel.
Military experts predicted railguns will eventually completely replace conventional artillery among the world's major militias.
