Rail Gun muzzle velocity


The6thMessenger

Recommended Posts

Rail Length = 50 Inches

Projectile Weight 800 long-rod penetrator + 400 grain armature discarding sabot

 

Here is the question: How much power does it take to send a 1200 grain projectile through the railgun, at a muzzle-velocity of 6000 feet per second? Please show your formula.

 

Assuming zero friction by the use of plasma armature for railgun.
