US MASSIVE Laser Gun on Aircraft Carrier Just Beat China’s $5M Missiles!
After 15 years and $500 million, the US shelved the electromagnetic railgun, claiming the barrels melted and the power bills were too high. But the Pentagon doesn’t just throw away half a billion dollars of physics. They stripped the railgun’s "magic bullets"—the Hypervelocity Projectiles —and stuffed them into standard 5-inch guns, achieving Mach 5+ speeds across the existing fleet.
The real power play? The Gerald R. Ford-class carriers. These $15 billion giants produce three times the power of any previous ship, feeding the hunger of 600kW lasers that vaporize threats for $1.00 per shot. The math is finally on our side, let’s dive in.
