I vaguely remember the idea of firing a powerful laser in the trajectory of the projectile before sending it out. Presumably the laser will turn air molecules into plasma and get them out of the way. Maybe this was for rail guns where individual remaining ions are of less concern.

There is a long range tazer design that uses this principle. It uses a tiny burst laser to plasmify the air, which then becomes the conductor for the electrical payload to the target.
