Only way I can see this not working is the gun not being anchored to anything in space. Possible answer is to build it on the moon and use that as a launch pad. then build them at every stop along the way.
Wouldn't work. If I understand railgun tech right, you would either be squashed flat or turned to a plasma. I could be wrong though.
