I went to a Christmas party in Austin about 17 years ago. I was chatting with the neighbor and he told me he was part of a team to figure out an EM railgun for the military. He was telling me shit that sounded classified. Eight years later I’m at a party at the same house and there’s that guy. I asked him how the railgun was going. He said it’s done, and it works. I asked what he was doing now, and he said ‘it’s classified’. By the time the rest of the world catches up on gauss weapons, we’ll have something better. White engineers and scientists, that’s the secret ingredient.
I’m sure the chinks are hard at work to steal those EM plans.

If you read closely they got it to work but just claim it's range wasn't as good as expected.
But throwing a smart bomb 15 k high from the ground is a success in anyone's book.
