Electromagnetic rail guns and the tech that comes with them are important for the Chinese military. In a rail gun electromagnetic force sends a projectile or missile flying down a track, reaching speeds and distances beyond regular guns. It is seen as one of the game-changing technologies that could tip the scales in future wars. Even during continuous firing, the weapon retained a remarkable level of shooting accuracy. The shells shoot out of the barrel at 2km 1.24 miles per second, which means any target within 100 to 200 km is within its sights. In comparison, regular artillery shells usually have a limit of tens of kilometres.
