Kinetic Energy Weapons

Kinetic Energy Weapons (KEWs) are weapons that rely on the movement of an object to deliver damage, rather than explosive or chemical means. These weapons, such as railguns or projectile-based artillery, use the high speed of projectiles to create destructive impact upon striking a target. The energy comes from the motion of the object rather than any explosive material. KEWs can penetrate armor and cause significant harm by transferring kinetic energy upon impact, making them effective in military applications. Their design often focuses on increasing speed and accuracy for maximum damage.
