Talk:Plasma railgun

Merge Proposal

I propose merging Plasma-powered cannon into Plasma railgun. I think the content in Plasma-powered cannon are the same as Plasma railgun, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Plasma railgun. Bugsiesegal (talk) 20:05, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree 2A02:2F01:870A:D800:BC01:CCB5:48B9:549B (talk) 15:16, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. They are distinct technologies. A plasma railgun launches plasmoid projectiles using an electric force, while a plasma-powered cannon is more akin to an airgun, firing a solid projectile by means of an expanding medium (plasma). Vennza (talk) 10:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Vennza. Although for what it's worth, my understanding on the matter is just based on what the 2 wikipedia articles said. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Most Humble and Obedient Servant (talk • contribs) 20:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
