Iranian Experts Develop Electromagnetic Gun (Railgun)

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian experts announced that they have designed and developed an electromagnetic gun that fires steel bullets without explosive propellant.




According to FNA dispatches, the home-made advanced gun (Railgun) enjoys a capability to fire thirty 8mm steel bullets per minute at targets.

The gun needs 2 seconds to recharge after each shot and fires bullets at a velocity of 330 meters per second (about the speed of the sound).

The gun's specification, including its high technology, soundlessness and its ability to fire bullets without explosive propellant has made it desirable for guarding important persons, protecting ammo caches, oil and gas installations and refineries and other vital centers and remote-protection of military and other sensitive and vital sites and facilities.

Tehran launched an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi imposed war on Iran, to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter planes.

Yet, Iranian officials have always stressed that the country's military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should not be perceived as a threat to any other country.

[RazPaK]

Sounds really cool!!!

 

[Mujraparty]

u mean something like these ....?

 

[Kompromat]

Surprise surprise , Iranians have Developed a gun technology on which US and China are still working. When are you sending a man to the Mars btw ?

 

[Jango]

A rail gun? Seriously? Patriotism is good, but not this blindly.

The US and China are already working on this for the past many years, and have been unsuccessful on this, but Iranians have made it?

Surprise, surprise.

And now

Its time for the section you love

Daily scientific achievements by Iran.

This program will be followed by drama, Romance, news ......

So according to your research no one else can build it till the Americans build it first or in another words every body else in the world is stupid except the Americans Excellent may i ask what are you researching next.

 

[Arian]

Who has said that America is still researching to build a railgun? Yes. of course they are still working on rail guns but not small experimental ones. It says that the Iranian-built railgun fires bullets at a velocity of 330 m/s (almost one mach) which is absolutely realistic and pretty doable for Iran. Americans are working at railguns that fire projectiles at a speed of 3Km/s (3000m/s) and they have developed some experimental versions too. so if you don't know about a subject, check your information before sharing your ignorance with us.

humor is good and welcomed, ignorance is not.

 

[Jango]

oh, so this was just the infant baby project, a demo version if you may, for trial purposes. That is achievable maybe, but i thought it was the real big thing.

Of course. It's definitely not a weapon for military purposes. what can you do with a bullet fired at a velocity of 330 m/s? That can't even penetrate tanks and armored vehicles, so what's that good for? killing important people maybe. that's the only use of such a weapon coming to my mind.so, It's an experimental version I think and is nothing to be surprised about.

Suddenly you are oozing with love for your muslim neighbour. Looks like the rail gun helped to bring back lost love.
