There's no easy way to do that. The projectile rides on rails. They could twist the rails into a double helix, but I think they're still struggling with keeping the rails from collapsing so that problem needs to get solved first.psijac wrote:They need to incorporate some kind of rifling mechanic.

I haven't forgotten them, I just like not having to reload until all the nuclear reactor fuel is spent. What is it, 25 years worth of fuel onboard? Of course that'll get shortened if the demand goes up, but I bet it'll still get you through the battle.sugar land dave wrote:Don't forget the rail gun!
