Rail guns are cool, but the power they use in their current forms is beyond what we could feasibly put on a ship or tank. Really cool technology though.

i'm joining the navy. i have a meeting with the recruiter on thursday

 

[coolhandluke]

a joule is a newton-meter

in other military news, Berkeley's city council voted to ban a US Marine recruiting office within its city limits and gave a protest group a permanent parking space and noise permit for protesting in front of the Marines' office. goddamn hippies.
