So, one of my friends happened to nab a Silent Strike set with the Hiss Tank and the Sky Striker the other day and yes they're repaints but i have to say damn good ones at that. Anyway, I don't know why but the orange HISS tank with rail gun is totally awesome! I know its a re-mold with new paint but damn the rail gun and the Hiss drivers really makes a difference. After doing some research about the rail gun, I'm finding out this is one really powerful gun! and it can fire a round over Mach 5!! Mostly the US Navy is experimenting with it on our ships, and I think Europe is doing the same, but I'm not sure if this type of weaponry is on any type of tank or artillery unit. With that being said about the rail gun and my question is, if Cobra has a mass fleet of HISS tanks with the rail guns, wouldn't put Cobra as an unstoppable force or at least close to it? Just seeing it from a technological point of view and mass destruction.

They've used a rail gun on a Hiss in the comics before... it's a bit more clunky than the current model. There's a Schwarzenegger movie called Erasure that also has rail guns in it, pretty cool weapon.

And speaking of Transformers, a rail gun also showed up in the second film. Strong enough to knock Devastator apart too!

If my tax dollars are paying for folks to build rail guns and buy Joes, then PLEASE raise my taxes!

Usually, the projectile is a metal slug--basically a giant bullet--with no explosive warhead needed. the railgun fires it with so much kinetic energy that the impact alone turns the target to slag.
