Getting DU out of your Railgun (drifting OT was Re: [FT] Rai

Andrew spake thusly upon matters weighty:

Or use a gravitic acceleration, for which a massive substance like a DU round
would be perfect. Who says these are EM railguns? Gravitic acceleration if you
have the tech is potentially very powerful and may represent less risk of
eddies or other effects in the acclerated media. (Mind you, it should be
compact or it will compress under
exterted pressures - but that might even make is a better
penetrator!).

Maybe this is the difference between an MDC (low tech railgun) and a
KV railgun - maybe they use grav and get more bang out of their
accelerators.
