So Arindam's model new deWsign Railgun gives three times the momentum
than a rifle.

Which is stupendous.
First time one can see and measure the bullet moving up the barrel of a
gun.

Your device does not have a barrel, it has a track with a pipe slooowly
rolling down it, crackpot.

 
A gun barrel is a linear arrangement through which a projectile
accelerates. Usually cylindrical in shape, as is necessary to contain
the gases from a chemical explosion causing projectile acceleration.
 
The same cylindrical arrangement, out to ape-like propensity for
copying, is present in the existing railguns, making them highly
inefficient.
 
Arindam's new design has two rails which are the equivalent of a gun
barrel, and which accelerates a heavy bullet horizontally.

All real railguns have two rails, crackpot.

The ones that have the rails enclosed in something that sort of looks
like a gun barrel are there only to maintain directional control of the
high speed projectile and have nothing to do with the accelration of the
projectile, crackpot.
