it's a reall full auto gauss cannon. The obvious flaw is that there is no spin added to the projectiles so they flip all over the place.

I wonder if this could be fixed with better projectile design. A lot of modern tanks have smoothbore barrels because they use rounds with sabots; once the sabot comes apart the actual projectile is self stabilizing.

I guess the other obvious flaw is that getting a coil gun to produce usable velocity takes a hell of a lot of power.
