A type of weapon that is capable of discharging projectiles at unbelievably high velocities. In this day and age, a railgun is capable of firing a projectile with such velocity because it can use electromagnetism.
Railguns are the future of how nuclear weapons can be launched. Nuclear missiles usually undergo 4 phases, some of which have problems....but with a railgun, there are less required phases, and it's apparently inexpensive! And that's not even the scariest thing.....you know how nuclear missiles are shot down? It's because nuclear missiles burn propellant, and interception technology can pinpoint it, and shoot down the incoming nuke with ease....however, with a railgun, the missile doesn't have to burn any propellant, and therefore it is INVISIBLE!!
Thus, railguns are capable of launching nuclear missiles that can be considered "invisible nuclear missiles"....the thought of that is VERY frightening. And yet, strategic and effective.

"The railgun technology was popularized not just by Quake, but particularly by Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Rex, in MGS, has a right arm that is a massive railgun."

*British Broadcasting Corporation.
*Breach, Bang, Clear; a technique used often by Navy SEAL's, used for clearing a room. The process goes like this:
1.)approach the targetted door and stand by until the group arrives and await the order.
2.)open the door to peep-sight and, when given the order, chuck a flashbang in.
3.)after the explosion, receive the go-code and then enter the room, eliminating any hostile blinded from the flashbang, and then ensure that the room is cleared of enemy hostilities.
