#4 The interesting thing about rail guns is they are using the same technology to launch planes.

Which blurs the distinction between a weapon and a projectile.

Large railguns on land could potentially fire projectiles intercontinental distances. Although I understand there are some serious stability issues with projectiles much above mach 10.
