Japan may soon succeed where many countries, including the US, failed. More than a century after the first theoretical models of the railgun were conceptualized, Japan is poised to conduct one more real-world test of a railgun, the Eurasian Times reports.
New pictures have emerged, showing work being done on a prototype electromagnetic railgun by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (JSDF). The railgun is installed on the test warship JS Asuka.
