Have heard about them developing EM technology for use in Guns, but didn't know about the rail guns. Pretty interesting stuff...

Pretty cool article.  I heard they were testing the idea of rail guns during the Reagan years of Star Wars, but it wasn't a viable weapon with the technology available.  They kinda went with a particle beam cannon at the time, but that also petered out.
