That's exactly what I was thinking..."Don't talk to me about classified!" Tried to find the clip but couldn't find just that clip.

The magnetic rail gun idea has been around for what seems like ages... I remember playing mechwarrior back in the 80s and they had a magnetic weapon called a rail gun that you could attach. Nice to see them closer to using this in combat.

I'm expecting a Transformers take over before we see this gun in action...hahaha
