How come laser weapons are always shown as the weapon system of the future?
Why not magnetic weaponry? Wouldn't assault-rifle sized rail guns be far more devastating and effective in combat? The projectiles of magnetic weaponry are pretty close to being as fast as lasers, and are better at piercing armor; not to mention most magnetic rounds have a farther effective range than laser weaponry. Overall, magnetic weapons are better than laser weapons unless you have a highly advanced laser weapon that fires ridiculously powerful blasts; and without a compact power source capable of containing ludicrous amounts of energy, that ain't happening.
TL;DR: Magnetic weapons > Laser weapons
Thoughts? Opinions?

1 ReplyI am almost certain that I read about a US navy prototype railgun/coilgun which was able to accelerate a 2.7 kg mass up to a speed of 80 km( 50 mi) per second. That would do some damage. [spoiler]I could've misread the 50 miles, which may be 50 km or 30 miles per second[/spoiler]
