Given how many people think that railguns have no recoil because "there is no explosion" they might actually seriously believe what they just wrote.

Scientific illiteracy is through the roof.

Or maybe it's the same as it it's always been it's just that people that are scientifically illiterate are given platforms to speak their illiteracy as truth.

Aren't Railguns works of fiction?

Really thought these things were a work of fiction. I guess it's because in the movies they pretend it's a laser instead of a high velocity missile of some kind.
