a railgun is by NO MEANS a laser, and is more or less the OPPOSITE of a laser.

Maaaybe the projectile being shot out of the railgun IS a laser!
Seriously, I'm surprised you didnt think of that before me.

Technically speaking, a laser isn't really a projectile. A projectile is matter, i.e. a bullet, missile, dimmy.

Correct, in most cases. A laser would usually be considered an energy weapon.

yes, but the word laser can mean the device that produces those beams, so it can easily be a projectile just like a cannon can easily form a projectile.

You're right! Forget firing the death star, just chuck it at your enemy!

Exactly. Its a railgun that flings all the hardware that makes up a laser.
