Green Farm: Abandoned Rail Gun / Electromagnetic Railgun Test Facility - July 2011. San Diego. WARNING: Do NOT go here anymore! You risk a $500 fine and possible arrest for trespassing! I have heard numerous reports of this happening recently (not though personal experience, fortunately). From 1986 - 1999 Maxwell Technologies operated an Electric Gun Research & Development Facility (a.k.a. DNA 32-MJ Green Farm Test Facility), under the direction of the Defense Special Warfare Agency, Allied governments and commercial organizations, where they tested a high-tech electromagnetic rail gun that shot a large, plastic bullet-like projectile at extremely high velocities.
