They used magnet bombs that used magnetic power to connect to jet wing, they could only connect these magnet bombs if the bomb was very small and magnet sensor programmed to let go of wing with better release time than the common bomb connection to wing.

my dad's highschool science project was a hand held rail gun! it was heavy as fuck, but it was as large as the barret .50 cal sniper rifle (roughly) and the battery was strapped to his back and his teacher accidentaly shot it through four brick walls

No they dont, they dont work like normal guns. There is no mechanical force happening, only magnetic, meaning theres no mechanical recoil.

Yes they do, Newtons laws. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, 4th grade stuff.

Rail guns don't have recoil. It's another one of the reasons the US/British Navies want them. They get extremely hot tho. For example, if you try pushing 1,000,000 joules worth of energy into a 10 gauge wire it'll vaporize. You'll never see a hand held rail gun. Coil gun maybe but never a rail.

Lol Canadians are scared we'll attack them??? We don't have to invade a country our government practically controls anyway xP. If anybody is scared it's us guys/gals from the USA who fear all the criminals. They are crossing our border to the north just as much as the ones from the south.
