Rail Gun

The Rail Gun is a fighter scale weapon previous found only on Capital Destroyers. Though vastly inferior to the Orion's Rail Gun's, this fighter scale version still offers unparalleled killing power.
The Rail Gun fires solid projectiles called "rails." These rails measure just under a half a meter and are composed of a titanium alloy tube packed with uranium depleted mini-shells. Upon impact, the titanium alloy shell pushes into the hull of hostile ships until it splits, explosively releasing the armor-eating uranium shells.
When used against fighters, the Rails can pound straight through. Against cap ships the rails can penetrate into interior coridors and do massive amounts of damage to internal systems.
The power of the Rail Gun is a great asset to attacking ships, however it's low firing rate does not leave room for error.
It should be noted that this is the second generation of fighter scale Rail Guns.
