It's possible that the implementation was a little bit harder than the theory

Maybe. But this isn't nuclear fusion, it's a railgun.

Not saying it's not cool, but firing projectiles seems pretty old school.

Firing projectiles without a chemical reaction is not old school.

This gun will still have more velocity out at the horizon than any conventional
