This whole article seems petty and childish in it's positioning. To me, it reads like:<p>"China has a new rail gun. But the US will have one too and it's going to be better! (but we haven't got a picture of it yet.)<p>Here's a picture of the Chinese rail gun, BUT there's no proof it works yet! But the US will have one too, and it will be more powerful!<p>China has their gun mounted on a ship, BUT the Pentagon has better ships! And better guns! The Chinese only have a <i>small</i> head start..."<p>Even some of the language the author uses seems to belittle the achievements of the Chinese, and dismiss their railgun repeatedly by instilling the question "but will it work?"<p>Propaganda 101
