And as expected this prototype ended up with slower muzzle velocity than a regular rifle.
This thing fires 140 gram projectile at 900 m/s speed.
M16 rifle fires 190 gram 5.56 bullet at 960 m/s.
Yusuf Akbaba is a manipulator in my opinion. Somehow he has access of getting info/pics about projects but he has no engineering knowledge at all. I think he is just some kind of freelancer twitter journalist.
I don't say what is being done is useless these are first steps of railgun. But Yusuf Akbaba was talking like it will enter service in soon. And when some people argued him like such thin cable is not suitable for a railgun he claimed he mocked about them.
