WSJ: American rail cannon can be useful to protect the eastern borders of NATO

The ER (Electromagnetic Railgun), a powerful electromagnetic rail gun developed by BAE Systems, will help protect the Baltic countries from the “Russian threat” TASS the message "The Wall Street Journal", published a video with tests of a prototype weaponsCreated for the US Navy.

“The military believes that the railgun can be useful if the US has to defend the Baltic states from Russia and provide support to the allies against China in the South China Sea,” the newspaper writes.

“We cannot ignore the fact that Russia has the ability to produce and shoot over long distances conventional ammunition of a large mass. We need to be able to resist such volleys. Railgun will potentially give us a cure, ”

quoted the publication of the deputy head of the Pentagon, Robert Wark.

The WSJ recalls that “The US Navy launched the ER program ten years ago, spending half a billion dollars on it. Now it is planned to spend another 800 million dollars in order to turn the rail cannon into a protective type of armament and make its projectiles suitable for deck artillery of American ships. ”

Earlier, TASS reported that the first demonstration railgun owned by BAE Systems. Installation capacity - 32 MJ. She was taken to Dahlgren (Virginia) at the beginning of 2012 g. Then a competing sample from General Atomics was brought there.

I completely agree! More how useful!
Just imagine. Bloodthirsty Russians crowded on the border with the Baltic states. They look through binoculars. And those fluff in the chick's socket once. And in the whole of the Baltic states and half of Poland and Finland, the light was completely cut off for a month. Such bloodthirsty Russians speak to each other.

The rail electromagnetic gun itself, the thing is not very frail. Her shells cannot be shot down, the ammunition for it is not expensive enough, and it thrashes incomparably further than conventional barrel artillery.
But there is a minus. The system is energy intensive. This system can only be installed on ships no less than the destroyer. In general, that they plan amerikoses.
Concerning the protection of the Baltic "Tigers". I don't know where the ameri want to stick it there, on the shore, or on what destroyer they own Question in quantity. 2-3 such systems will not make the weather there. In general, the next PR move, aero defenders want more money.

[matross]

The range of effective railgun fire is not less than 100 km, but in fact it allows firing from a distance of a direct shot at a land or sea target with direct visibility, since even very tall objects at a distance of more than two to three tens of kilometers are completely beyond the horizon. In particular, when viewed from a height of 25 m, the line-of-sight range of the 9-story building is approximately equal to 18 km. Potentially possible shooting on a flat trajectory, but at ranges that are not comparable to missiles, even light class.
The high velocity of the projectile allows the use of a railgun as an air defense system. The projectile speed of the perspective gun, which will be tested in 2016, will be 6 M, which is significantly lower than many anti-aircraft missiles (9 M for one of the C-300В4 missiles), maneuvering the projectile is impossible. (S)

[SergeBS]

I apologize in every way, but

Quote: matRoss

Range of effective railgun fire of at least 100 km

a bit wrong. A bullet from the AK-47 MAY kill at 3 kM (if it came without protective clothing or flew into the eye). It’s just unrealistic to get with 3 km to them.
You drop 3 shops - you will see dust (through binoculars ), and not a fact - which is next to the goal.
And effectively - it is "shot - killed".
Maybe I confuse it with "real fire range". Correct.

That's right, they've knocked out their nuclear missile shield, they just stutter about new missiles and boats, and soon the whole line of new ones will take shape with the adoption of "Barguzin" and "Sarmat". In aviation, stealth technologies drove them into a complete dead end, etc. So they decided to surprise them with something, the problem is with the railgun, the same as with the laser, ie. the target is struck by a direct strike, neither the over-the-horizon target, nor the envelope of the relief, this rubbish can not reach. As with a laser, it is the best application in space, but the problem with the power source, and the installation itself is very large and heavy.

[SergeBS]

I'm begging. Do not make me so funny - I burst.
To obtain electricity, you need "quite a bit" - to spend MECHANICAL energy to move a conductor (a satellite with bells and whistles, for example :)), in a magnetic field. ALL the energy of the satellite (kinetic, the other is not) - will "fly away" on the first shot, as a result of which this satellite will stupidly fall down.
Nothing personal, just physics.
Well, it’s not a fact that the satellite’s energy from descent from orbit to the ground will be enough for one shot. Its energy cannot exceed the energy of the carrier that threw it into orbit (cases with a nuclear reactor on board or something else are marked by the agreement on non-nuclear space, for example).

Yes, perhaps it will be worse.
The speed of "delivery" of energy / striking element is different. Railgun on a maneuvering target? .. the aiming point will be difficult to determine. And the VIC zone cannot be covered with a "cloud" of shells, as Volcano / Falanx does.
Therefore, the second question is the rate of fire. What kind of "battery" of storage / capacitors (fast-charging!) Will need to be in order to fire at a swarm of targets (with a bunch of false ones!) Attacking the protected object?
Guidance and stabilization system. Well, so many "boxes" only a ship can carry! And then, retargeting to targets, with over-sound popping out from behind the radio horizon at an extremely low altitude? Will not those seconds, which may not be enough for "retargeting", become fatal? Again, "swarm" LC !!! Clogging the target channel with an aiming noise ...

The most reasonable comment! Another cut of the loot.
Back in the 90s, there were articles on this topic. Let me remind you the essence of the problem. "Projectile" is accelerated due to the Lorentz force arising from the current flowing through the projectile itself and the rails on which the projectile lies. Due to the gigantic values ​​of the current of the order of 100000A, the movable contact point between the projectile and the rails, to put it mildly, BURNS up Therefore, the rails have to be changed very often. Example of railgun calculations http://vestniken.ru/articles/461/461.pdf

Not enough. This is only the second stage of the cut. There will be at least four, and the result is like F-35

What is the problem of creating a fragmentation warhead (ball, rod, etc.) for a projectile?
In my opinion, it’s just easier and more efficient - you don’t need to put an warhead on the warhead.
It’s just revealed in time - and there the speed and air resistance - the whole cloud of fragments themselves will form.

This is where you read it, dear? The whole charm of this gun is that the user can optionally set the acceleration of the projectile, which is impossible in the barrel artillery. And over the horizon, she pound, be healthy!

[hrych]

If you have a horizon in the sense of how to use a howitzer, then it’s not a problem, if you hit an movable target, it’s adieu. All good combat units now perform anti-aircraft maneuvers before hitting the target (they make a hill, fly in a spiral, etc.), therefore the GOS also maneuvers in order to catch the enemy system, the same shell is deprived of such an opportunity and therefore meaningless.

1. Did you see the speed of the railgun shell actually?
2-3 kilometers per second by the way.

2. What is the distance before a strike? for 2-3 kilometers?

3. What prevents to destroy a rocket before the maneuvers? at a distance of 10-15 kilometers?
by the way. which rockets fly in a spiral? Or are you talking about ballistic blocks?

If the laser at least carries destructive energy at the speed of light, but even then not instantly, then the railgun shell rests on the density of the atmosphere, and near the ground itself where it is maximum and naturally slows down, so the speed is limited, as well as the flight time to the target, which leaves from sighting line, and less, but with a comparable speed, but actually the main argument of the staff - the cheapness of the kinetic projectile, devoid of fuse and charge.
The anti-aircraft missile P-270 "Mosquito" can perform an anti-aircraft maneuver "snake" with turning angles up to 60 degrees and an overload of more than 10 g, and the anti-aircraft missile "Yakhont" makes an anti-aircraft maneuver - "spiral" in the final section.

[The stranger]

Of course not. Its only focus is the huge velocity of the projectile, without going out into space.

[Red_Hamer]

But there will be a reason (as if by chance, but out of need), to restore the Ignalina NPP, or to build a new one, they had such plans by 2021. The closure of the Ignalina nuclear power plant was one of the conditions for the country's accession to the European Union. What the hell do they often do stuff about this gun in the media? Unclear. We have our own, even the very name "Railgun" was invented by the famous Soviet physicist Academician L. Artsimovich. Or are they exceptional, they cannot even imagine that such developments are being conducted not only by them? Or do they want to drive us into a useless race? So this is pointless, we have been developing this for a long time.

[The stranger]

For me, this is clearly a part of psychological warfare. Because for the first time in my life I hear that a strategic weapon in terms of the cost of developing weapons is declared for a purely specific purpose, even with an indication of the theater of operations.
Maybe - it can't, it works - it doesn't work, but it sounds creepy, scary, and besides, they are threatened directly. A "normal" society by their standards is ordered to immediately get scared to brown trousers, and throw itself on its knees in front of the owner of a cudgel from the rail, simultaneously sweeping and hanging its leader and its government.
In principle, this is a terrible thing. But I don't know what they have, since after so many years and 500 lemons, they are given MORE 800, "for fine-tuning" :))
Most likely, they have another exacerbation of the "F-35 syndrome", and not a gun.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Well, stop mocking our "partners"))) ... Let's discuss more, but mock and laugh))) ... Let's discuss the prospects of this weapon ... I just looked in the reference book (Wikipedia) and found out that this idea Naturally, they came up with the idea back in the USSR, and the second point is that this weapon can only be fired at a direct shot range))) (which 200 km they are talking about on TV is not at all clear), in addition, the speed of the projectile fired from this weapon was 6 M, which even below the speed of the missiles of the S-300V4 9M complex and this projectile does not naturally maneuver, how they were going to shoot from this at the planes, I can't imagine ... !!! That is, these are weapons of shorter range, less speed than the existing weapon systems ... The cost of shells is cheaper, but how much does the equipment and maintenance of the station or anything else that generates energy for this gun cost ?! And most importantly, the destructive capabilities of this weapon? Well, it will make a through hole in the hull, but it may of course be dangerous, but compare with the warhead of a missile that has a high-explosive fragmentation warhead of hundreds of kg, I read somewhere that Argentina drowned the flagship of the British fleet with one Exocet missile, the diameter of the hole in the hull from the missile hit was several meters, the cruiser sank in five minutes ...

Write nonsense. It was not a flagship or a cruiser, but the destroyer Sheffield. And even then, the rocket did not explode - the destroyer was destroyed by the resulting fire - and not in five minutes, of course.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Yes, I admit, you are really right that with regards to Sheffield, I just looked at the information, a missile that did not even go off, but the one that pierced the hull of the ship eventually sunk it, causing a fire with the remains of jet fuel ... In 5, the destroyer Glamorgan came under fire from the shore - the first missile missed, the second struck the upper deck in the area of ​​the helipad and exploded, forming a 12-meter hole. Debris and explosion products penetrated into the helicopter hangar, where a fully fueled helicopter was at that time. The fire raged for four hours, 1982 sailors were killed in the fight against the fire. The next day, with the help of floating workshops, the destroyer managed to regain limited combat capability. Probably the previous source that I read distorted the information a little ... American weapons often let Argentines down ...
In any case, inaccuracy in May does not cancel the general message of my message that missile weapons are more effective than this electromagnetic gun ... But Argentina was let down only by the weak effectiveness of American weapons ... If they bought weapons in the USSR, the Falklands could have a different story, already Argentinean. ..

You see, even the Dnieper is not needed.

Well, it’s one thing to reproduce such power, and it’s another thing to tell her the projectile in ten thousandths of a second.

[dauria]

Well, it's one thing to reproduce such power,

Energy and average power have been calculated. To store and "shoot" is really a problem that is NOT solved by the energy source. (Won in a 60-ton press, a 5 kW engine and a flywheel with a crank , absolutely nauseous, you can compress the air with an electric compressor ...) I laugh, of course. For linear engines, there are good semiconductor switches if they are pulled a lot.

This is provided that all the power goes to the shell. I wonder what is the efficiency of the installation?

In a powder shot, 40% goes to the shell, the rest is wasted. The mechanical energy is calculated. By the way, electrical to mechanical converters (the same electric motors, even linear ones) have a very high efficiency (under 90%)

In any case, I said that the Dnieper is not needed, and do not confuse the people. Some still have to teach physics, and they, damn it, in tanks.

[jPilot]

Really, read physics. the main hitch is that the main energy consumption is needed for the initial movement of the projectile. For example, an electric motor with a power of 2.1 kW needs at least 4-5 kW to start (spin the rotor) !!!! Moreover, the launch process does not occur instantly (as needed for weapons), but on an increasing basis.
The essence of the powder charge is that the "theoreticians" consider the total energy of the powder charge and its consumption, but the starting (initial) INSTANT moment is important for the movement of the bullet, and at this stage the powder works at 100% efficiency, and then the energy of the powder it is practically indifferent to the bullet, therefore it is used for other "needs" of the weapon.
As you wrote there: "I will say more, I was surprised myself - the energy of the Kalash horn (already kinetic) is equal to the energy stored in the laptop battery."
Apply the laptop battery power to the 1st bullet and make it "fly" at least a centimeter. But what about the force of gravity, friction force, air resistance ... If everything is so simple, then why are we still without "blasters" and in fact they do not even shoot bullets in "fantasy" but "some" electro-plasma substance !?

I read about the development of railguns with us, I read in science and life in the early 90s, and indeed, everything rested on energy supply. As long as there are no acceptable power supplies in size, there will be no mobile railguns. Well, and about placing them in the Baltic states, it’s nonsense -Who will place new and experimental models of weapons dangerously close to the enemy, all the more so as they are afraid of the Russian special forces in a row ....

[Hon]

The warship does not have enough generator power?

[Saburov]

“The military believes that the railgun can be useful if the US has to defend the Baltic states from Russia and provide support to the allies against China in the South China Sea,” the newspaper writes.

How did education on the planet ... the era of consumerism ... fall? Nothing fundamentally new has been implemented, all technologies are as old as the world (if the laws of physics do not suddenly change)
About the railgun
Advantages
1) High destructive power of a shot;
2) An impressive firing range (from 150 to 350 km, only you probably forgot that the earth is round, which will not allow to realize this firing range)
3) The safety of this type of weapon due to the lack of explosive fuel powder
4) The reduced weight will allow you to equip the equipment with a large number of charges;
5) The projectile speed can reach nine thousand kilometers per hour. (In the middle of the 80's, Soviet scientists created a prototype railgun. The speed of a projectile made of plastic, comparable in size to a bottle cap, reached 9960 m / s and punched 3 layer of duralumin with a thickness of 4 cm.)

Disadvantages and problems
1) A clear, sharp impulse is needed that the projectile accelerates and pushes before it scatters or evaporates
2) A huge amount of energy with which the pulse gun will be activated (of the order of 60-70 megawatts, which compact energy sources have not yet been invented)
3) Adverse effects of moisture and salt that corrode the system (relative to fleet use)
4) System stabilization
5) Complete unmasking of the launcher that occurs after the first shot
6) The projectile must have a minimum mass, the material for the manufacture of the projectile and the rail must have high conductivity (to the question of the cost of the projectile)
7) Guides in the gun have to be changed after every second shot.
8) Work on increasing the speed leads to the destruction of shells in flight, and this also becomes a serious obstacle to the widespread introduction of the railgun. To this list you can add the need for a high-precision guidance and sight system.
9) If you need to accumulate 60 megawatts for a shot, then these 60 megawatts need to be generated and saved! Even if without losses with 100% efficiency and type on superconductors, all the same huge aircraft carrier nuclear reactors at 300 megawatts will pump the energy of 15-20 minutes ... until the next shot. You’ll kill yourself, but the laws of physics can’t get around in any way, and to shoot 5 rounds per minute, you need the energy of 100 aircraft carriers ... LITERALLY 100!
Well, backfill. The projectile will not fly along a ballistic trajectory with a decrease, but in a straight line like a laser beam, meanwhile the earth is round, and the horizon from the destroyer deck starts somewhere at a distance of 15 km, a target at a distance of 50 km cannot be reached with a direct shot . Shoot from an airplane? From the surface of the sea, from the ship, as a result, the projectile will pass in 400 m above the target. A speed of approximately 8 km / s is sufficient to enter the orbit of the earth; above it is already possible to fly to the sun. In addition, a shot with a speed of at least 6 km / s should cause, if it does not occur in a vacuum, a powerful shock wave and instantaneous heating of air in the shot zone.

PS So all these dances around the miracle of weapons (lasers and railguns) have one meaning ... money and money again.

[Nikolay K]

They also carry a power plant by themselves. Or in the Baltic, they will buy it from us.

32 mJ is approximately 9 kWh. Even a retired grandmother can afford such an energy expenditure.
The technological problem of the railgun is not in the amount of energy expended, but in the fact that this energy must be thrown away instantly.

The Americans themselves write and refute their information themselves. An experimental ship with an experimental setup, this seems to be a thing of the distant future and single railguns will not make the weather for the US Navy

. For a volley from a modern railgun, an impulse of 25 (!) Megawatts is required. One of the ships of the US Navy, which was specially designed taking into account the possibility of being equipped with a railgun, is equipped with 78 megawatt power plants, and the most common electric value. The installation capacity on the ship is a figure of 9 megawatts. For a single shot of the railgun, almost 30% of the power of the special installation is required. fleet ship. The use of this type of weapon on ordinary ships is not worth thinking about.

The answer in itself begs, there is no solution to the problem of instant charge

Another American horror story. A rail gun can only fire direct fire. So its combat effectiveness is a big question.

[Ezhaak]

Quote: neo1200

The rail gun can only fire direct fire.

And our former fellow citizens living in Israel, will also teach her to shoot from around the corner. However, I don’t know where to find a corner in the sea.

[voyaka uh]

"The rail gun can only fire with direct fire" ////

Why? Shoot the canopy - ordinary ballistics.
The only difference is who launches the projectile into the air - gunpowder or electricity.

[The stranger]

And then why did they fence the garden? The horror of the railgun is precisely at the possible monstrous initial speed. Because of which the shell cannot be intercepted by anything, no armor can withstand, and the explosion from getting the blanks is comparable to a gigantic bomb.

[voyaka uh]

"The horror of the railgun is precisely in the possible monstrous initial speed" ////

At this speed, the projectile itself begins to burn. Hypersound, plasma and a whole range of problems.
Therefore, they calculate the speed in order to throw a shell at 100 kilometers, but
so that it does not burn out along the road.
But 100 is cool, compared to a powder charge + all kinds of bottom
accelerators on the projectile.
A ship can fill another ship (or shore) with a fair amount of shells
from a great distance. This will be much cheaper than the Kyrgyz Republic.

[The stranger]

At this speed, even if he really wants to, he basically can’t burn. Like the cumulative jet damage mechanism - NOT burning. For such speeds, its term is gas dynamics.
And what have you been given these 100 kilometers? This is the battle distance for the existing army - division MLRS, at a cheap price. With a guaranteed defeat of a very large number of targets.
In a naval battle, for example, the probability of hitting a foreign ship with such a cannon is limited only by the technical reliability of the cannon itself. After all, the time of the projectile's approach to the target is practically not inferior to the time, for example, of the passage of the radar / rangefinder impulses. Moreover, there is probably no question of hitting the target "in general". Because this is not a question, and because it is possible to get into the water nearby, it will cause an even greater effect. Although I don't know, I've never seen things fly so fast.
As for the huge amount is not sure. There is a lot of energy in the world, but hell knows how to cope with the necessary power. And I do not know how to adjust the range. After all, she has a direct shot range - almost all of these 100 kilometers. By reducing the speed of the projectile, you can reduce the range, but then everything becomes meaningless. Unless to make the projectile self-governing.

[voyaka uh]

"This is the battle distance for the already existing army - divisional MLRS" /////

But they are not installed on ships. Estimate the length of the rockets, the volume that
they take up storage. Again, full of all the gunpowder-explosives, which
instantly ditch the ship if hit.
This is the beauty of the railgun: compact shells and the relative safety of their storage for the ship.
The railgun is not a super weapon. Just a convenient replacement for naval artillery.

The high-voltage air conditioners are not only huge in size, besides, they also have a highly toxic electrolyte, read about the radar station in Kazakhstan, which was abandoned and the "metalworkers" tried to hand over the air conditioners to metal - how many of them were alive

[The stranger]

And it’s not a fact that the thickness and weight of the biological protection already of such a pulsed power supply do not exceed, and much more, the protection of a nuclear reactor. People who launched the first heavy-duty lasers, for example, died. The electrical part is about the same.

Gunpowder still needs to be activated (set on fire) - in order for it to do the work, the charge on the containers is always ready to do the work, without activation, without anything at all - just an internal breakdown of the dielectric of capacitors, this is quite a common phenomenon in electronics, but if in everyday life the energy of capacitors is negligible - the "coolest" flash units, rarely have more than 1000 joules, but even its short in the circuit leads to the fact that (literally) a piece of wire with a cross section of 4 squares evaporates, in the case of the race gun there will be an epic "broads" with the effect on the half-steamer, I know from experience that the short circuit in the capacitor circuit of the Canon 350 camera flash to mass (energy 20 j) leads to the failure of the control processor.

yeah, they’ll only charge and .... right now, after half an hour we’ll fall asleep ..
It’s a pity that the barrel resource is nothing ..
the volley of the Kyrgyz Republic will simply smear a thin layer across the ocean, it’s a trough, and if you remember how an electrician burns with a voltage of 10000 volts, it’s generally fireworks in the ocean, and all thanks to a modest racket carrying the generator, or simply, purely on the foam .., American , just fine graphite, so I would have looked HOW MUCH MONTHS THEY WILL WASH THEIR POWER ELECTRONICS FROM IT

The first gunpowder was, you know, .... not really. They were often torn apart, there was no range,

did not disappear right away.
Electric weapons at the beginning of the journey, like a laser.

[CT-55_11-9009]

Yes, in the beginning. Only for their widespread use should the necessary conditions arise when a laser and a rail are more profitable than an existing weapon. At the moment, it’s only space. In other areas, traditional weapons are more advantageous either in terms of performance characteristics or in terms of price.

Zadornov spoke about Hollywood in one of the programs: "Here's how to explain it all to the young? You need to bring them to the mirror, which I do in my concerts often and show. Here, look at yourself, now from the outside you believe Hollywood films," Indiana Jones "But the films of Hollywood and life are the absolute difference. I, for example, do not watch Hollywood these scarecrows, bloody pumps. Because I find it funny to watch them. Because I know that if, and many young people are afraid, tremble from everything But I, I find it funny, because I know that if you hit a man with a sleeper on the head you won't get a bruise. Brains will pour out of all the holes left, but in all Hollywood films. After all, in general, they drive bullshit for idiots practically. You can't catch up with a drug boat going out to sea on a scooter. And even on a motorcycle you can't. In all their films, men run from cars and overtake cars. And sometimes women crawl away from cars and the whole world believes in it. Well, how can you such, h so that people become impoverished with their brains. I am especially amazed at the end of a Hollywood movie, a fight - to put a nose to negative characters. And they are sure to fight somewhere in the basement, in the hold. Sometimes, my favorite is on the roof of a skyscraper. And someone hits, the negative one hits the positive with an anchor chain. Where does the anchor chain come from? This is only possible with stupid Americans. And he was so cheered up when they slapped him with an anchor chain and put a negative anchor in his mouth for it. And he just jumped up, pulled out the anchor and became so vigorous, as if they made an enema out of a kia. Once and on top of a concrete slab on the goodie. That teeth spat out and, in the end, negative, when it almost wins, you think "well, well, everything is fine." He pushes the positive, he flies from a skyscraper, you feel sorry for him, but he hangs, keeps on three fingers. This moment is touching. And hangs, hangs. Have you tried hanging on a skyscraper with three fingers sometime? And the negative one still hits him on the fingers, and he is already hanging on one. I knocked two off him or sawed off with a hacksaw. And this is the whole world, this shnyaga is watching. And then the police arrive at the end. I like that. The police are really stupid in America, they always come at the end and tell the one who, and already the skull is in another place, ears in another.

Spit on this supergan, it’s like that, dust in the eyes. Worse, the other thing is that the Americans legitimize and make routine the arming of arms (supposedly defensive, but no fools, they wrote about this already) right to our borders.

That's all, but not an electromagnetic gun! The electromagnetic gun shoots with electricity, and not with the usual powder charges — why there’s a fire loop behind the projectile, which shouldn’t be when shooting from the gun! And the main problem is too much barrel wear due to the gigantic kinetic energy and its high cost in production, such a gun now essentially does not fire gold, but a handful of diamonds.

Because the hinged trajectory implies a decrease in the velocity of the projectile and after passing the ascending trajectory going down its speed is equal to or less than the usual projectile, and if we take into account that the main feature is the cheapness of the projectile, i.e. stupidly blanks, the damage from hitting it at the target is lower than the damage from howitzer hits, if you use a railgun to increase the range of landmines, you need a new projectile to withstand severe overloads it is possible but the economy is different, expensive gun with expensive charges, in short not weighted weapons, and tabletop shooting with the maximum speed of the disc is limited by the horizon 30km further higher and into space the earth is round and the path is straight

Mounted shooting is also needed in order to synchronize hits on the target.
The release of 3-5 shells on different trajectories in case of sufficient rate of fire will make it possible to ensure the simultaneous hit of all 3-5 shells.
What you yourself understand is a big plus in some situations.

Quote: xorgi

Why can an electromagnetic gun fire only direct fire?

Because the initial velocity of the projectile is such that the corrections for the attraction of the earth can be neglected. The trajectory is close to a straight line.

[sir_obs]

To be honest, I don’t catch up with the meaning of this weapon in principle. If in space its application would be understandable, there is no air resistance and the trajectory of the projectile to the target is practically a straight line, then on Earth it is still a ballistic curve. And at a projectile speed of 10 kilometers per second, you can not aim at a distance of these 10 kilometers especially, take into account the lead, wind speed and so on. But with increasing distance, all these factors will still play their negative role. And getting somewhere there at a distance of several tens of kilometers will already be as difficult as with ordinary guns. I strongly doubt that someone will allow you to get closer to such a distance. When our "loaves" went into combat service, the American augi tried not to come closer than 500 kilometers to the areas of their intended location. That is, at a distance of their use of weapons.
And at what distance will the prodigy shoot?
As a means of air defense, you can still understand, but it is still too cumbersome to quickly bring it to a high-speed target. Maybe I'm certainly not right, but so far there are more questions than answers.
