RE: Gauss Weapons

Yeah, but did it get made, & into production yet?  I remember seeing an 
article about the next-next-generation M1 - (next is a liquid binary 
propellant gun) - it had a railgun as main armament, electrostatic
armor, 
and the whole thing was just packed with flywheels & electric power 
generation systems - type unknown.
