There have been several times where I wondered about this, but I always wrote it off to not probably usable due to electro-magnetic interferance.

They must have alot of sheilding to combat that part of the system. I wonder if the compass deviates during the firing?

Pretty cool, non-the-less.  I expect we will see alot more of this tech in the future, Electro magnetic Howsers anyone [no bang, just a swooooshh :) ]
