a wile back i saw a show detailing weapons of the future. The US govement has an active Railgun project with a working Prototype that reaches Hypersonic speeds. the Projectile Resembles a current Anti-armor cannon round. It is Depleated uranium self sharpining sabot, incased in a retangular shuttle that separates soon after leaving the muzzle of the weapon.
on the show they fired it Quite impessive.. they are already looking at ways to cram the whole system in to a tank. they even showed a CG modle of a proposed design.
very cool and very high tech
