When I saw that Railgun in the film I thought it was the AGS. However, I didn't get a good look at it since it was bootleg quality and I din't really know what an AGS looked like back then. I saw a screencap of it an it looked cool, but considering you said "God help you if Colo sees you bringing up the one from Revenge of the Fallen...." I'm guessing that this weapon is not even a prototype or design concept and is pure fantasy.

So Cool but impractical?

No, is very real. Railgun of course as weapon, but:

His country uses laser rifles and pistols, he has a billion nukes on it's tiny island. I recommended him to this site so he could get feedback on his designs.
