The video sequence of the sabot coming off the projectile is pretty neat.

Easy to view, but with no commentary or explanation, who knows what we are seeing or what it means?
Good Luck

The Navy has been working on railgun technology since around 2005. In 2006, it tested an 8-megajoule firing; in 2008, a 10.64-megajoule firing was conducted. Dec 10, 2010 , which was conducted at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in Dahlgren, Virginia, broke all previous tests in a 33-megajoule firing.
