This is a link to a rail gun...
The Rail Gun is nowhere's near perfected and ready for battle use, however the velocities you can get a smaller projectile to go make sit as destructive as a larger slower traveling conventional round.
Even though the Rail Gun is in development, what other methods are being looked at for very high power and high speed projectile weaponry? Gun Powder can't stay the champion for ever...
Please leave out laser devices, I'm interested in just projectile force..
