27.0 MW 18mm Turreted Capacitor Railgun (25t gun, 39.1% efficiency, 50km/s, thick turret armor.)

Description
A test gun for the idea of using Beryllium as a railgun projectile, as Beryllium provides the opprotunity to maximize the overall volume of a projectile while maintaining a relatively high projectile conductivity.

This means we get a wide bore *And* high efficiency, which is pretty nice.

Ok I found it, I was using the material replacement pack which changes the Beryllium to something that is closer to actual implemented uses of beryllium.

Odd, I didn't see internal stress on mine, and I tested them about three hours ago in combat situations.

Nope... I don't see any aluminium, just:
hafnia capacitor
zirconium copper rails
graphite aerogel barrel armour
beryllium armature
lead tracer
amorphous carbon turret armour
neodymium iron boron actuators

It might be a CMP material that didn't port to the workshop correctly.

Check if any part of this is suddenly "Aluminum".

Nevermind I've got internal stress problems?
