Sabot rounds are stabilized by fins, not spin. You can't have both unless your fins are what provide the spin, at the cost of a LOT of drag. What is the point of propelling your projectile at 3km/sec just to have it lose velocity for stabilization? The destructive force of a projectile depends on its kinetic energy at the point of impact and due to the potentially high velocity of a railgun-launched projectile, their destructive force may be much greater than conventionally launched projectiles of the same size. rail gun is not rifled; nor does it provide rotation in the projectile through the magnetism propelling it.
