Lol. I get that. A gun with a rail, or a railed gun, is NOT the same thing as a rail gun. A rail gun fires an electromagnetic projectile.
Yeah, I knew what you meant, I was just saying, I think that is why they call it a "rail gun". It is indeed far from being a real rail gun. Real naval rail guns are friggin badass pieces of machinery. Its the kind of weapon only a nerd or Star Wars/ Star Trek fan would think up, yet they may end up replacing the heavy artillery cannons still used on our naval ships today.
How much are them rail guns?
Most likely in the low millions to make, but I'm positive many many millions went into the development and testing of the magnificent beasts.
