Russian Scientists Successfully Tested Railgun - Can Travel Up to 5km/s

A team of Russian scientists has successfully tested the country's first railgun, which relies on electromagnetic forces rather than explosives or propellant, according to RIA Novosti. According to scientists, they managed to use the device to fire bullets at an incredibly fast velocity of 11 kilometers per second (regular military guns fire bullets at about 2 km/s). This is something that they said is enough to allow an object to overcome gravity and reach the Earth's orbit, and almost enough to allow it to enter outer space. Support the channel here,
