My concern is, railguns but a LOT of stress on their components; that's why the US military is having so much trouble getting one working.

The Navy has a working test model, but after a couple hundred shots (not even at full power, mind. it'd last even less time if fired at full strength.) the damned thing starts to tear itself apart and basically has to be rebuilt.
