Well, we (the British) invented, and I believe built, the thing anyway. The only issue for us is price. We can never afford the awesome stuff we make

BAE (British Aerospace Engineering) make lots of cool stuff, these railguns are a good example, thing is brits tend to never get credit for it because like Asestorian said, we can never get the stuff first and therefore be given the "its a british weapon!" because we just plain can't afford it (challenger 2 tanks are a good example of this, the brits have a worse model than the saudi's do). ---

Yes, I'm sure they'd love to make them use less power. Seriously, they would, it would be awesome if they could do that and still get the same performance.

220km!? Insane
It would take 4 hours on the Train to go that distance (at least in the UK) and now there's a cannon that can do the same to a projectile in 60 seconds or so?

What you talking about, takes that long just to go 60km with the current state of Railtrack and it'll cost you more!
