    which is why the dm is able to stop them in their tracks by enforcing the game rule about not calculating speed for damage

      I think it’s totally valid to run a realistic game where realism takes precedence over game rules, but then the “passing of the object” part fails.

      It’s also totally valid to run RAW game, but then it fails like you said.

      So no matter what game you run, the railgun makes no sense.

      What would make sense with a RAW game is to use the railgun for fast travel/fast transport, but then again for it to give a decent advantage, you need thousands or millions of peasants who willingly cooperate, which also won’t really work in most games.
