Many believe that railguns are what future tanks / armored fighting vehicles will be armed with. The concept of an electric gun seems very futuristic, but it actually goes back to World War I. During World War II, some nations began to look into it a bit further. Germany wanted to use railguns as anti-aircraft batteries, but the US Army had something different in mind. They wanted to mount it on the famous M4 Sherman. Eventually they had to settle for a coilgun, which is considerably less cool (this video is an April Fool's joke, please do not take any of this seriously).
