I would very much like to see the ballistics of the Zumwalts future gun and what its penetration abilitiy would be.I have already read some reports on the rail gun but penetration was not mentioned only the velocity and the approximate testing range.
Further, I would like to see the guns ability to penetrate armor of that period either Class A or Class B.
