the core problem is that you have to sort of mush together BOTH newtonian physics and RAW while also ignoring key parts of both to get a railgun - you need the rod to be gaining momentum due to moving BUT you have moving because RAW, when newtonian physics would have the amount of energy needed to move the rod from even ONE peasant to another instantaneously be infinite, while at the same time RAW caps the amount of damage and range of a peasant throwing an object to just a few feet and a single damage die.
(remember that 1 peasant can easily be subdued by a house cat, which has better offensive and defensive stats than the peasant)
