railguns dont fire pellets, they fire slug material rounds

lanka is a hybrid weapon - superheated plasma shaped by a electromagnetic field into a "round" which is then fired using a combination of directed energy and railgun/gauss like acceleration

the friction in atmosphere slows the superheated plasma down from its 3000 m/s muzzle velocity
