It is a 10 MJ railgun. The efficiency of the French-german 10 MJ railgun is also 30%.
Hi, Deino. May I keep edit the #1 and #2 in future? I have more information and source for that.
Deino, may you approval my thread "Chinese electromagnetic launcher (railgun, coilgun .etc) informational pool"? May be I edited it too much times.

Process:
1. I found a thread about DRDO successfully tested a railgun prototype. I read it, think it is not bad, then leave it.
2. I found another thread about it in next day. There were some members saw the principle prototype as a military one. I told them there is still a long distance...
I think you are talking about the railgun that I posted on #2. However, I did not find the credible source about the date of the experiment. May you help me?
China and India are both developing countries. Our scientists doing great. But we has just overtake European in this field, still a long distance with US.
In order to help people understand the technological level of Chinese EML experiments. This page is about foreign EML experiments.

This thread is intended to collect all information about rthe developement of Chinese electromagnetic launcher (EML) from reliable sources (Journal, conference publication, lecture by real expert, scientific award .etc).
I realized that many members overestimate the technological level of...

I never think it is a fail project. I had said "it is a great achievement" in #37. I am not a troll. I had view a same thread about this, but I do not say anythins. I comment this thread because some members may see this as a military prototype.
"According to the state-owned Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), a 12 mm square bore EMRG has been successfully tested"
Note: The chinese railgun which launch 30.2g bullets is 25 x 25 mm square bore.
It is hard to find the original sources of these experiments because these experiments were done in 1980s, an age that people did not always upload articles on internet. Fortunately, I got a 1994 report about NON-US ELECTRODYNAMICS LAUNCHERS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. It describes the development...
It is a prototype of coilgun, and 303emg is railgun. If you want to talk other type of emg:

50g bullet, 3.1km/s, testing in 1991.
US did much better than China:https://spectrum.ieee.org/consumer-electronics/gadgets/for-love-of-a-gun

It is only a 30.2 g bullet. Do you think how difficult to accelerate it? US had tested more powerful prototype before China. It is uncomparable with the military prototype of BAE. I need more time to check the old article from library.
I need some time for other countries.
China: 303EMG, test in 1988, designed by PanYuan (潘垣), 30.2 g bullet, 3000m/s.
There is a huge difference between a military railgun prototype and a simple railgun prototype.
