This is related to the story last week by The Free Lance-Star, A missile punch at bullet prices, on the successful testing (by the U.S. navy) of an 8MJ railgun. It probably won’t mean much to earlier generations, but for those that grew up playing Quake 3, this is all too funny, and likely to be true one day. :D
