Great action movie.

I believe the physics of such a railgun would be impossible. But oh well... there's no harm in a little fiction. That is, while railguns exist, to fire a small projectile quickly would require a lot of power, hence a lot of recoil, and involve a lot of heat dissipation. Thus one couldn't practically carry around such a gun. I guess the point is the company figured out how to make it portable. But it doesn't seem possible to contain these elements.
