US Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011

In other news, the Army plans to deploy Quad Damage by 2009.

they'd need a new name for quad damage, it's probably copyright.

I can just imagine them blasting civilian targets with these, while some soldier next to them shouts "Double Kill! Multi Kill! RAMPAGE! GODLIKE!"

I had a ridiculous Killing spree once, kept getting about 3 people at a time with the Railgun and hitting every couple of seconds, I was laughing so much at what the guy was saying but I can't remember what comes after multi-kill not Played the arena in absolutely ages!

From the article: The range of these rail guns is estimated to be over 250 miles.

Yeah, but at that distance, the enemy will be smaller than a single pixel... you won't even be able to see him behind your little aiming dot.

I reckon they could probably use the secondary fire button and the mouse wheel to zoom in a bit.

I'm well gonna go join the army in about 2015. By that time we'll be able to respawn when we're killed anyway.

America will probably have most of the flags though.
