I’d imagine heat would be a concern after the first couple. You’re defeating gravity and she is a harsh mistress when it comes to vertical lift – need a lot of uumph, more than your average rifle proportionally.
Guns also have barrels that can cool on all sides. He’ll, you can pee on your hot barrels if needed. That bunker will require a lot of piss…

Just put your silos in a river for free water cooling
Build it next to a lake.
Maybe some kind of native slinging mechanism to fling it away from the launch site before the missile ignites.
Here at Aperture, we launch the whole missile. That’s 60% more missile per missile
How do we get so many missiles in them? Like this!
That’s precisely the goal of SpinLaunch
Just slap on a reloading mechanism, and it’ll be 10,000x better.
Sounds about right in a few years, it’s some kind of constant- successful civilian tech will be adapted for military use
