Only problem with railguns in space would be Newton’s Third Law of Motion… equal but opposite reaction. The railgun would have to be attached to a pretty massive ship to ensure when it is fired it didn’t send the ship spiraling out of control. Lasers don’t have that problem.
Just sync it with another shot the other way. Problem solved.
