shit

They have this mounted on a ship while our navy brass is still testing it out on land and from the sounds of it put it on hold earlier this year.

Chinese Railgun

So I am to believe the Chinese beat us to a working naval rail gun?

That’ll go well with their working quantum radar.

How much did the DNC charge them for it?

So that's what they got from Clinton's servers.

So the Clintons sold us out again?

This the laser that would use 1000000k use of the worlds energy to shoot it off?

They have defeated stealth, didn’t you hear?

Oh, they are using quantum entanglement now.

I'm petrified!!!

If the report is true they don't so much have "their own" experimental rail gun, they have ours.

Which U.S. DoD contractor hired the Chinese national electrical engineer?

Too bad the FBI apparently only has enough in the way of resources to wiretap Trump Towers and none left over for trivial things like Chinese espionage.

Mine are within a couple volts of each other ... on a 52 volt battery.

Like the wise man implied above, espionage via Hillary Clinton's server made this possible.

Someone in the comments says it's not a rail gun but a missle accelerator to eliminate the booster stage giving misses longer flight distance. No idea what it is but that's a short barrel compared to our rail gun. Our barrel looks about 20' long. My guess it's a laser of some type.

Could that be to launch missiles horizontally?

I recognize political propoganda too, but go into the deep dark basements at any large university science building and tell me what you see, hear, smell in those rooms (the ones with the real labs, real science isn't done in pretty offices with big windows)...You'll hear Mandarin and differing Indian dialects being spoken and smell lots of curry.  They might not have our engineering capability right now, but they're education systems aren't concerned about feelz and what bathroom everyone is using.  They are in it to win.
