Next up on the big list are Railgun designs. Ranging from 20mm up to 600mm, the Abwehran Railgun is divided up into different types.

Mass Drivers are hand-held infantry weapons and none will be listed today. Gauss weapons are Powered Armor weaponry that can either be hand-held or equipped. Railgun are for starships and strike craft, which the list will mostly contain.

20mm Gatling Gauss Cannon
50mm Gauss Cannon
80mm Gatling Railgun
160mm Artillery Railgun
200mm Artillery Railgun
300mm Artillery Railgun
600mm Chase Railgun
 
Just so you know, pretty much any kind of significant mass impacting at .6c would strike at SDR 5, regardless of the ammo type. Specialized warheads would probably be less effective because they'd be wasted when the impact destroys the warhead, or takes away from the mass of the projectile.

And debris/solid point defense weaponry impacting it would cause the shell to be ripped apart.
