Railguns have been successfully built and fired in the past. Unfortunately, due to the massive currents, forces, and waste heat generated when fired, railguns have a tendency to destroy themselves after every shot.
The 10 round per day limit (one shot every 2 and a half hours or so) is probably enough time to repair the rails and allow the waste heat to dissipate.
For all you hiring managers, how important is the inclusion of a college undergraduate GPA after the applicant has been in the workforce for a few years? It seems that the value of that measure would decline over time, and be replaced by descriptions of whats actually been accomplished in the jobs held since graduation.
