lol any velocity increase from a using a standard propellant before shooting it through a railgun would be absolutely minute in comparison to the velocity from just the railgun. All adding a propellant charge will end up doing is cause the already massively complex gun to be even more complex because now you have to deal with the massive release of gas intrinsic to using a propellant charge.

Again the velocity gain from a propellant charge isn't going to add much meaningful power to a round thats already hypersonic due to being fired from a railgun. The military is probably looking into it as a stopgap solution until their understanding of railguns is sufficient that the powder becomes superfluous.

What exactly would the point of a magnetically assisted conventional projectile be exactly? All it ends up doing is massively over complicating the system by essentially fusing two separate guns (the conventional one and the railgun) into the same system for what would be a relatively minor increase in velocity (Again railguns are hypersonic). Combining both a railgun and a conventional one would take about the space as having both a railgun and a conventional and would have very little benefit if any.
[editline]18th September 2015[/editline]
Not only that but think of the logistics and space concerns. Now each ship with that system has to have both a rather large capacitor bank AND a magazine to store the powder charges (unless of course they're connected to the shell, in which case it would decrease the available space in the magazine anyways).

Oh and before you start quoting my posts to try and prove my position is anything other than what I stated above, consider this a clarification that the above statement is a clarification of my position.
Okay lets assume for a moment that there is a large increase in velocity.
Lets look at the problems with a dual propellant electromangetic hybrid weapon.
In order to make the weapon you need to literally have two weapons (A conventional gun and a railgun) and combine them into the same weapon. This effectively doubles both the complexity and the size of the weapon. Not only that but you also increase the logistical needs for the weapon. Space on ships is already at a premium, but with a propellant railgun hybrid you'd be looking at the logistical requirements for one weapon doubling (the need for propellant storage and the need for capacitor banks) on the ship the weapon is installed onto. I don't think any potential gain can be made from effectively making a weapon twice as big and need twice as much logistical support.
As for the velocity, a railgun doesn't need to go faster. There is literally no reason for it. A propellant charge wouldn't add much velocity to the railgun because the railgun is already shooting objects at hypersonic velocities.
The only way I could see a dual propellant/electromagnetic weapon being needed is if the weapons platform cannot support a large enough capacitor bank for the weapon to reach the needed velocity. This is most certainly not the case for a ship specifically designed to mount a railgun.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;48713235]In order to make the weapon you need to literally have two weapons (A conventional gun and a railgun) and combine them into the same weapon.[/QUOTE]Okay, let's go with rails and let's go with an existing weapons platform like the 120mm L/55 Rheinmetall gun.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;48713235]This effectively doubles both the complexity and the size of the weapon.[/QUOTE]Let's see, the L/55 version of that gun has a barrel weight of 1,347 kg, and let's use everything after the bore extractor for the rails.

Hm, as for complexity you may have a point there but this is a 120mm gun and it does need not only regular overhauling but also constant maintenance. Since tank crews are constantly repairing everything, I'm not sure they'll care about any increase in maintenance. (what tedious maintenance would they be expected to perform on a railgun anyway?

[editline]18th September 2015[/editline]
Really you couldn't get any faster firing speed than that, even if you had all sorts of power generation capability. That would require really, really fancy supercaps that would, of course, be very expensive and very fragile. So a single weapon that's firing an assisted projectile would need to conserve the high-velocity shots for appropriate targets, and as I said several posts ago certain ammunition types do not enjoy any benefits from higher muzzle velocity. HEAT rounds don't get any more effective the faster they fire, HESH actually [i]lose[/i] effectiveness, and certain payload munitions like beehive or canister rounds are either unaffected or have a reduction in efficiency. Only the solid kinetic shots, such as the APFSDS or obsolete rounds like the APDS and APCR really see a drastic increase in effectiveness the faster they go.
I also touched up on the total speed of certain materials such as depleted uranium, move that fast enough and it'll violently detonate because uranium has a high degree of pyrophoricity, and alloying with stabilizing metals only somewhat diminishes this or compromises it's armor-piercing capabilities. (or it's lethality, part of the reason why depleted uranium is so effective is it turns into dust much like solid brass does on impact, and this dust self-ignites causing massive damage and casualties)

How exactly are you getting the precise weight of that? Based on what components? Are you taking into account the capacitor and powder storage requirements?
Also its going to require vastly more maintenance. Railguns need sensitive electronics, there's no way around that. A tank is going to be moving in rough terrain on a daily basis. Sensitive electronics and rough terrain do not mix. "A little more maintenance" is a bit of an understatement. Now you have to carry both spare components for the railgun and the gun aspect of the weapons system. Not only that but you're also going to have to train the crew to deal with the highly sensitive electronics that will accompany the railgun. Furthermore the capacitor bank itself would represent a massive threat to the crew if the tank gets hit. Explosives don't necessarily explode if you tank a direct hit. Capacitors WILL discharge if they are damaged.

Again its not necessary unless tank armor sees significant increases of durability. Railguns are going to be overkill to the point where a kinetic penetrator round will go through both sides of the tank with little issue. Something that's not really needed in tank warfare at this point in time, especially if you take into account the possibility of collateral damage from a shell over penetrating and striking a building, which given the current state of warfare the US conducts, is a distinct possibility.

That's the weight, not the space the weapon will be taking up.
Sticking capacitor banks evenly around the tank is a great way to guarantee a discharge if the tank gets hit from any direction.
[quote]
The major downside to this weapon system is the capacitors would take at least 107 seconds (1m 47s) to charge for a shot, meaning any rounds fired while the capacitors were charging would be conventional and a change in doctrine would probably have to follow.[/quote]
So basically you're asking tank crews to have to compensate in the heat of combat for two different shell velocities. I'm reminded of the old story of Mig pilots firing both over and under B-29's in korea because of the mismatch in velocity between their 23 and 37mm guns.
Also how exactly will the tank recharge the capacitor bank? Are you thinking of adding a massive generator to the tank as well?A generator to a tank that already eats massive amounts of fuel? Or do you want a reactor on the tank? Or perhaps a hydrogen fuel cell? All of these will take fuel and/or cause a massive increase in the size of the tank.
[quote]
Alright, fine, so after everything I just typed up do you still think it's unnecessary?[/quote]
Absolutely. There quite simply is not a need at present time for such a massively fast round in tank warfare. Plus the weapon you are describing comes with a ton of things that simply add unnecessary complexity to a tank (having to compensate for two different shell velocities in combat, adding capacitor banks as well as an ammo rank, a weapons system that will require twice the training and twice the maintenance) for an advantage that would be complete unjustifiable overkill in todays warfare.

So now the crew has another thing to keep track of for no reason (loading the correct ammo type for the inbetween shot with lower velocity).

DU already detonates at the velocity modern tank guns achieve. Further speed won't help that. An overpenetration due to the round going right through the tank also won't help that.

Let me put it like this. The only possible way such a system would be more useful then a simple cannon is for a dedicated platform who's sole purpose is tank hunting. It would also only be able to shoot once the capacitor banks recharge because your idea of having each intervening shell being shot via conventional propellant is retarded for reasons that I already addressed but you likely didn't read due to your apparent casual dismissal of everything I said.
