Can no one read? Your own quote says that its anticipated that this will be installed on the recently commissioned ship that was having difficulty with its gun system having projectiles that cost 800k. It does not say anything about the cost of the rail gun projectiles. seems that no one on the first page has caught this.

The one in the gif is likely just a milled down chunk of tungsten. Probably costs $100k, counting R&D and everything
