Rail Gun:
In development for years, the weapon would be able to fire a projectile at Mach 7, or seven times the speed of sound, hitting targets 110 miles away. (By comparison, a Hellfire missile travels a little over Mach 1.)

Instead of gunpowder as a propellant, it uses electromagnetic pulses, and the projectiles hit with such overwhelming force that they don’t need to be armed with explosives. The impact from traveling at such amazing speeds is enough, thank you very mu ch. Lasers sizzle rather than go boom, as some have said. The rail gun definitely has one heck of a boom.

The gun made its debut at the Navy’s Future Force Science and Technology Expo at the Washington Convention Center this week.

One top Navy official recently likened the impact to “a freight train going through the wall at a hundred miles an hour.” The lack of gunpowder and explosive warheads eliminates some significant safety hazards for Navy crews, officials say.

22. This is a military grade pursuit robot, it is designed to chase hostiles and take them down. This robot is just a concept right now, but may be possible very soon. In fact, a robotics company in Boston has been hired by the U.S. Military to build this robot.

This Robot is out now.....

The war is inevitable!....it's just a matter of time before hell breaks loose This wicked world MUST come to an end for a new Kingdom of righteousness to be established as the LORD declares in his WORD! Y'all have been warned...make the right choice!


1 Thessalonians 5:3

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.


Zechariah 13:8-9

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, 'They are My people,' And they will say, "The LORD is my God."

The US would easily win any war because of superior air power. However i doubt a 3WW involving nuclear force because the fear of retaliated attacks would discourage any country from being the first to lauch but who knows.

Sile12 do you have any info of missiles based in space stations capable of being launched from space. I was watching something like that on discovery one day.



The world was destroyed first by water and the holy book says fire will be used to destroy the world 2ND time.

I'm good. We cool?

There you have it. When one says they resent and dread another war in the country, the nairaland resident war mongers call one all manner of names from "slave" to "coward".

I don't know if it was Einstein but someone once said "I don't know the kind of weapons man would use to fight WWIII but WWIV would be fought with sticks and stones".

This means mankind is likely to bomb herself back to the stone age in an event of a WWIII.

War benefits no one but only military contractors and they are those that ensure the world never realise real peace.
