A rail gun is every physicist's wet dream, but in terms of military use I am interested in how much energy it delivers to the target 100 miles away. They say 33MJ to launch which is pretty impressive considering that a barrel of oil has approximately 6000MJ of chemical energy. But how enertgy much does air friction take away? 9/10ths? 99/100ths?
