Rail Guns are a kind of weapon that launches objects by generating a powerful electro-magnetic field. Their use in warfare has been extensively studied, but they have never been adopted for widespread use. They could be useful for launching ICBMs, intercepting missiles, and launching rockets. They have the advantage of being nearly frictionless, and being able to attain speeds of Mach 10 or higher.
With a POD no earlier than 1938, make Rail Guns de rigor for modern armies. Bonus points if they are commonly mounted on Battleships!
