TrackingPoint is an applied technology company based in Austin, Texas.In 2011, it created a long-range rifle system that was the first precision guided firearm. [1] [2]Formed by John McHale in February 2011, the company created its first PGF prototype in March 2011.
A railgun or rail gun, sometimes referred to as a rail cannon, is a linear motor device, typically designed as a weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high-velocity projectiles. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high kinetic energy to inflict damage. [ 2 ]
The Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun is a long-range naval weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. Magnetic fields created by high electrical currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor, or armature, between two rails to launch projectiles at 4,500 mph to 5,600 mph. Electricity generated by the ...

A benchrest rifle, also colloquially called a "rail gun", is a rifle with its barrel and action mechanism built into a machine rest, used mainly for benchrest shooting. The rifle has no proper stock and its base uses adjustable feet to provide a stable position on the bench, and the rifle is finely aimed with horizontal and vertical adjustments ...
At its most prosaic, science fiction features an endless variety of sidearms—mostly variations on real weapons such as guns and swords. Among the best-known of these are the phaser—used in the Star Trek television series, films, and novels—and the lightsaber and blaster—featured in Star Wars movies, comics, novels, and TV shows.
Target hardening through shielding or materials selection was thought to be impractical or ineffective in 1984, [2] especially if the beam could sustain full power and precise focus on the target. [3] Neutral particle beams with much lower beam power could also be used to detect nuclear weapons in space non-destructively. [4]
