This Royal Armouries lecture by former research engineer Derek Putley delves into the history of UK experimental electromagnetic railgun work from the 1980s and 1990s. It covers the scientific principles, engineering challenges, and specific projects like the RARDE experimental program and the Hyperlocity Test Facility. The lecture also highlights the origin story of a wooden railgun model now housed at the Royal Armouries. While not a demonstration of a functional firearm, it explores the theoretical and experimental development of a weapon system, referencing its fictional portrayal in 'The Expanse'.
