Instead of using Lorenz force to explain railgun operation... I found a more elegant way... Using flux compression force.... Basically a wire with current going through it doesn't want to be bent and tries to become a straight line... The junction between projectile armature and rails forms a 90 degree angle conductor which tries to straighten itself out, causing the armature to accelerate outward.
