Those of you who have been following the news about the US Navys new toy railgun will understand more than those who have no idea; those who have both heard of it and played Quake 3, if like me, will find this hilarious.

IMO the funniest thing I've read in months.

Toy railgun? Please elaborate. I have heard that the Navy has developed a practical weapon they expect will have 10x better range than regular munitions within 13 years...

That's the one.

Garnett compared that force to hitting a target with a Ford Taurus at 380 mph. "It will take out a building," he said. Warheads aren't needed because of the massive force of impact.

(from that article).

Okay, I'll admit, it's no toy. Or if it is, it's a very cool one.

haha, it's funny because Quake 3 is the best Quake

The idea of getting all the awards always intrigued me, which is why I'd make a point to pummy at least one bot per game, just in case. I believe they were on Hurt Me Plenty or whatever.

railguns are for campers. dirty, smelly, campers. :D

It's funny, cause trog never got 5 rails in a row.

lol sif post that maxe... i was thinking "fark that's pretty good" until you said it's not on nightmare. work on that rail accuracy;)
