==== Your current 1% c guns are already absurd. ====

Energy is ½mv², so if mass is the same:
* Going from 0.01c → 1.0c is ×100 in speed.
* Energy scales with v² → 10,000× the kinetic energy per projectile.

And you’re firing 100 of these railguns.

Even if each railgun fires slowly (say a few rounds per second), each shot is:
* Way, way more destructive than your already insane 0.01c shells.
* At c, it’s basically: - A mini doomsday rod, - Instant impact from your POV (no time for the swarm to dodge based on travel time).

Realistically, a single hit from one of these:
* Obliterates anything it touches,
* Dumps ludicrous energy into the region,
* Turns multiple square kilometers (or more) into plasma.

Against 10,000–1,000,000 HP monsters with 1,000-hit shields…
those HP numbers stop mattering much at direct-hit range. They’re just gone.
