Japanese experiment in the 1990s, speed around mach 13.
Been there done that. . 12mm bore means, it's marble size projectile.This early Chinese railgun or coilgun (pre-2005) is part of Chinese electromagnetic research, which began in the 1980s. While railguns are relatively simple to build, the difficulty lies in scaling them up, as well as making the barrel durable enough for multiple firings.
