I never understood this weapon? Is it some kind of chemical railgun? How does that even work?

>>53818835
From what I understand is uses gunpowder to fire a bullet and an electromagnetic force to give the round more power.

Seems kinda stupid to me.

Railguns, and coilguns, have trouble accelerating the projectile initially. Most examples use a spring or compressed air to give it at least a little push. There's no reason you couldn't do the same with a small amount of powder and a simple, light mechanism, while the railgun can accelerate the projectile afterwards to speeds in excess of what is possible with chemical propellants.

I used this concept in Eclipse Phase to smack a posthuman would-be god, twice, just to be sure. Knocked Deimos out of it's orbit in the process. Then transmitted "Sic semper tyrannis" at maxumum power across the Solar System. The point got across.

When we get to the point of clarketech, it's great, but it's hard to get away from the sheer power and utility of chemical propellant. We've already made advances from black powder to early smokeless to today's, and it'll only get better over time whether we go to caseless or cased telecoped or whatever.

All directed energy weapons are fighting the battle from decades behind- if they manage to progress fast enough, and beat chemical propellants, great. But it's a huge task.

"Nuclear shaped charge" gives a certain gravitas to many things, like ships and gamma-ray lasers.

Which are admittedly good for railguns and similar as well. But it is admittedly hard to beat the *accuracy* of lasers- it's all of the other characteristics where it's trivially easy to beat them.

So the bullet is fired out of the rifle using gunpowder, and then the bullet itself houses an electro magnet rail gun that then fires the second stage round mid-air?

Cornershot is cool until you realize it's just a glock and a camera on a little swivel.

chemical is really the only way thats practical for small arms without having absolutely ridiculous energy density

electromagnetic shits great for putting on things that can haul around a nuclear reactor or something but it doesn't scale down well at all

lasers are just retarded for small arms for a bunch of reasons

So you can shoot enemies that are behind you.
Half the time Bolos burst through enemy lines and keep on going, that back turret gets a lot of use.

>>53831885
Did you miss the part about shooting starships and being their own anti-missile platforms? You need full horizon-to-horizon coverage for that.
