Railgun Mark II

The second generation of the railgun designed, gifted to us by the Asgard. With a second barrel, the rate of fire was increased twofold, while the new dome-shape design provides an enhanced turn rate.

This type of railguns was firstly deployed nearly 2005, on the 304-class battlecruiser USS Daedalus. It saw most use in the Tau'ri-Wraith war, only being replaced by the Mk.3 in the last few months of the war.

As of 2019, this type of railgun is no longer in frontline service. Only 8 remain in action, as CIWS on board the Austerlitz-class battleships.
