It's a true railgun photo. Thats a ground mounted test shot of the new naval railgun.
The projectile is a round (conical, technically) shaft of steel - the plastic sabot holds it in position so the magnetic fields can accellerate it accurately.
I assure you there's a plastic sabot, it's easy to find this stuff out.
It's still called "firing", altho there is no chemical propellent.
