400mm Railgun (Abwehran)

Because it's more impressive to call it a 400mm and when it comes to muzzle velocity, that's the first time anyone has asked me a question like that. But since it's a Railgun for orbital combat, I suspect it's fast enough to reach the escape velocity of a 3G planet.

That means since 11,182 m/s is the escape velocity on a 1G world, that would mean a projectile launched from it has at least a velocity of 33,546 m/s.

Edit: Also, muzzle velocity has been added to article.

Summary
Note here if any serious issues are present. These are the issues that will hold up approval.
** Article does not describe the actual 400mm shell.

Note here if any minor issues are present. These are issues you would like to see changed but will not necessarily hold up approval
** Short description of the issue. If a longer explanation is needed, put it in Notes.

Status: Approved

Notes
The article provides no information on the shell being fired other than its diameter 400mm. What is it made out of? How long is it? How is it loaded? Article makes mention of "due to its ammunition consumption." Are the rounds merely slugs or do they have explosive warheads.

Okay, page has been updated to point to Abwehran Armed Forces Ammunition page which provides details, and Damage Rating changed to refer to the page for specific shells.
Good to go
