[@SirDavid290]

In the leaked expansion for Return to castle Wolfenstein (Enemy territory) there is a map with this railgun, it was an objectif based sabotage mission where the Allied had to prevent the Axis from loading ammo into the gun via a railway system, or else the Axis won. You could delay the firing of the gun by damaging the control panel, gaining precious time if all else failed.

Honestly in my eyes the German Paris gun from WW1 was a more technological achievement for the time. Sure, it's caliber is just 8.26 inches compared to this gun's 31.5, but this gun also couldn't fire a shell through the stratosphere to a distance of 76 miles. Also, it killed a total of 256 French civilians. It was also mounted on a railway carriage.

@@DrBees-ms2vt How would the world end? Countries always set up "red lines", talk about the point of no return, and they get crossed all the time. If one country would use a nuke in battle, do you really think someone on the other side would react with "oh well, let's just all die"? This theory is proclaimed for almost 80 years now, and it's absolute nonsense, as multiple incidents of false alarms during the cold war showed.

*railWAY gun, not railgun unless you're telling me hitler had access to electromagnetic accelerator weapons?

[@AliComputering]

yeah they had

[@TheMysteryDriver]

They did. Some French guy invented them in 1918. One German engineer proposed making them during WW2 as anti aircraft.

[@War_Daddy103]

@@AliComputering not a god damn chance. The amount of power the general atomics railgun (the most powerful electromagnetic weapon currently built) needs its own on-site power generation plant and numerous electrical safety systems as the amount of power it draws when firing could black out half a city if it was connected to the grid. Back in ww2 coal was used to produce power (nowhere near enough for what you'd need) and given that lead-acid batteries were cutting edge technology back then you'd have no where near the capability to store the power needed to fire. On top of that semiconductors weren't around then so good luck building a firing system without relays, tranistors, capacitors as well as the required purity grade of the copper coils used in the barrel would be so far beyond ww2 germany it's silly. Something tells me you dont even know how a railgun functions beyond "haha funny star wars gun go zap" if you're seriously trying to convince me they had EM weapons back in ww2. If you cant build a tank transmission that functions you've got no chance of building one of the most complex weapon systems to date.

[@War_Daddy103]

@ but would they have functioned at all given the pwer constraints and primitive level of technology? something tells me you'd get about 2 shots before out of power or it destroys itself.

[@AliComputering]

@ your problem is you compare it with what they built today, I never said it was like that now built, they had technology and tested it, what u say look like someone says there is no way Americans made nuke at WWII, (some still say that, they beilive it was not nuke. but it was just many explosive and napalm they used, and for fact they show those image after impact, which still many walls even some house and construction stood tall! (most houses and places built from wood destroyed) so it their opinion true? no! back then they uses about 15-20 Kt bombs, at 1961 soviet Tsar bomb had 100 Mt tnt power, because they feared destruction out of control, they reduced it s power to half! in less than 2 decades world go from 15 kt to 100 Mt!!! but even now after about 65 years still Tsar bomb is still by far most powerful bomb! so should we say they were more advanced??? no! or because nuclear is advanced category we say it was not exist at WWII with primitive technology? no! what I said , they had, but was not advanced and complicated as today once, and they just tested as trials,
