Bottlenecked by the curveture means it can hit anything within the horizon and not beyond it because the shells arcing down of the shell would be impossible at railgun level velocity??
and if it's downscaled to let's way an infantry rifle/carbine can enjoy the advantage to a railgun with high velocity projectile without it being too bulky/long barreled with the elctromagnetic railing?
Also in acecombat the stonehenge shells are thermobaric/fuel air explosive than plain explosive
