Rail gun

[chronikuad]

Is the rail gun supposed to be called ray gun? I mean, it is a ray gun. A railgun is a type of heavy duty machine gun. It would make more sense if it was called a ray gun.

to call ray gun it supposed to shoot laser or something, its shooting heavy duty 1 bullet which can pass through anything.

I didn't know about that. Still,the railgun in that article shoots actual projectiles and not lasers that can pass through anything.
