"A  railgun is an electrically powered  electromagnetic projectile launcher based on similar principles to the homopolar motor . A railgun comprises a pair of parallel conducting rails, along which a sliding armature is accelerated by the electromagnetic effects of a current that flows down one rail, into the armature and then back along the other rail." wiki

Where does it state that a Railgun has to fire a projectille that moves super fast? the first railgun conceptualized in 1912 would have fired a rather slow moving projectille. Railgun is a description of the mechanic used to launch a projectille not the speed said projectille will reach. Modern railguns can reach quite the super velocity but who's to say that the weapon seen in this game is super efficient?

" Their production methods blend technology and ritual, in-part, because the ancient Orokin materials they use are inscrutable to them." -Corpus description

A higher level of technology doesn't mean more efficient technology all the time. especially if one does not understand what they are doing.
