Correction: This is a railway gun, not a railgun. And the lack of air in space would prevent heat escaping from the rails anyway, so it's not like it'd be any better, besides the lack of friction to slow it. -
randomcode9 10th Jun 2011.... @DcBloodHound Prety Damn Close to absalute 0 and it loses velosity in the atmosphere.... no air in space so no friction.

actually a test was performed to see if a rail-gun can shoot to the moon.unfortunately the shell lost velocity after exiting the earth's atmosphere.a new test hasn't been performed because of how expensive it is to replace the rail on the rail-gun. BTW i voted up. i wonder if it would be possible to build a rail-gun in space so the the rail doesn't overheat.whats the temp in space anyway? -
