Fake and Gay
>>529109836That railgun tech was given to them by......the US.
>>529109934This. We've been using it on destroyers since the last Bush was in office. It was the final nail in why we stopped building anything larger than a destroyer, exception being carriers. We used them to fuck targets in Iraq though not quite Afghanistan.
>>529109934honestly I would trust the Japanese more than anybody to do the best job with continuing to improve the tech
>>529109836Cool.
>>529110782It was given to them because its implementation (not railguns in general) seen as a dead end. Plus, Koreans would actually be a better fit if one wanted actual improvements.
>>529110208That's nothing wait until you see the hot pocket coil gun. Microwave driven munitions foiled on one side. Seasoned technicians versed in microwave time set that shit to warm for one minute. Ding! That bitch went boom.
>>529110949Rail guns on Japanese soil is probably a tech worth pursuing, lots of nuclear power and best Korea always firing missiles over top of them
Everything is fake to these retards. A railgun is magical to them so it must not be possible
>>529111111deserved get
China is 100 years ahead already and building destroyers with disintegration rays. Just look at this one turn 3 sailors into bloody mist.
>>529111111Here for it
>>529111196oof I never noticed that before, gibbed by a ship
>>529111111Witnessed
>>529109836Damn, we built that? I'm getting a mighty rice boner>>529111111checked
>>529109836>>529109934>>529110208>>529111024>>529111111Railguns will always be a meme weapon that of course superficial East Asian countries would pursueYeah they shoot fast but they're not magic, and no amount of secret Oriental metallurgy will bring us to the point where they can support a magazine of hundreds of rounds without having to be rebuild. These are flashy display pieces that would basically get fucked in the first few minutes of a serious engagement and be useless until the next call to port to overhaul them. >>529110995It's funny you say that because that's not nearly as implausible as you think especially considering we know how to generate MWs of microwave radiation continuously
>>529111738>dude i totally know from my basementk keep me posted
>>529109836Soon we will have a Railgun we can have sex with
>>529109836Expensive and stupid line-of-sight tech
>>529112056>why yes I literally do not understand high school level ballistics
>>529109836You heard Japan is investing in artificial diamond production in the US. Diamond could be the ultimate power device and we use it for railguns.
>>529111805I actually think I do know a little bit about the subject, you buck-toothed lacquered half-monkey
>>529110208The big Ole jew laser beats them all though, ¿¿amrite /k??
>>529111738You just don't know diamond power
>>529112250>why yes I do realized that for the amortized cost of a railgun shot I could have fired ten Rolling Airframe Missiles that actually work
>>529111841you're not gonna have sex with itit's going to have sex with >you
>>529112710>bachelorlmao larping as one of the big boys? fucking pathetic
>>529112710MIT is a good school and all but bragging about a BSc is pretty cringe especially two posts in kek
>>529112790It's more about space saving and logistics but missiles are still more useful currently. The technology is worth developing thougheverbeit.
>>529111738the real problem with them is they do something a rocket already does.the trident 2 already is faster and can holds a larger payloadyou have to design a whole ship to fire one single railgun just to fire a projectile SLOWER than a rocket...
>>529111111witnessed
>>529112909Oh no don't worry I have my PhD tooNot as good a school but they paid for everything, and I didn't even reapply to MIT anyway I wanted out of Boston. Two more degrees than you have, you greasy haired slant.>>529112917>MIT is a good school and all but bragging about a BSc is pretty cringe Harder to get into the undergrad program IMO. A lot of yokels from state schools get in, I took classes at a state school in my senior year of high school and 4.0'ed them. If you can get into the undergrad you could get into the grad.>especially two posts in kekJust a reminder you never know who could be on here. I'll see if I have pictures of something really neat still laying around somewhere.
>>529112710>Middle initial DWatching one piece cancels out all of the intellectual sharpening getting a BSc gave you
>>529112992best usecase would be having them in space - which is why i personally believe they got the funding
>>529112710what's the matter, chief, not smart enough to get an actual degree?
anything which requires a ton of energy is a bit of a meme because you can't haul around enough energy to make it feasible, except on nuclear carriers or large static military installations.
>>529111111A railgun is when a hooker blows cocaine up your nose with Slurpee straw, no? If not, she lied to me about that too.
>>529111111nice
>>529112710>>529113357Get a load of this niggerHow insecure about your own intelligence do you have to be to timestamp your collection of expensive jewniversity postcards to defend your ego to a random nip shitposter on an anonymous racist forum?>You need to go back
>>529113846I didn't pay a dime for any of it, I was brilliant enough to be fully subsidized :) anyway I hope you're having fun working for Mr. Rangesh at the Singh Horton's, friendo
>>529111841I love Science™!
>>529113954You really have absolutely nothing else about yourself you base your self-worth on.I pity you. You will come to realize that most people are so astonishingly retarded that having anything more than average intelligence brings diminishing returns in terms of their perception of you, and the advantage in the world you will be afforded since they will be the ones deciding your fate.I have a similar collection rotting in a box, it's a great reminder of wasting a decade of my youth I could've otherwise spent enjoying the fruits of life or starting a family, toiling away in a desk or lab.Get good at something creative and fun before reality slaps you in the nuts and you jump off a bridge. If you don't, make sure to do a flip faggot
This shit is cool
You guys are fucking retards.Japanese rail guns approach a completely different use case.They are being designed to intercept million dollar rockets with projectiles that cost a few hundred dollars.They are not being build to destroy ships.
>>529111111Nice rail ammo
