The rail rifle is “still in the game” because you’re playing the stable version of the game - which only gets updated around all 6 months (give or take). If you want the “cutting edge” versions (including all the new cool stuff and changes, but also usually a lot of bugs), you might want to take a look at the [experimental versions](https://cataclysmdda.org/experimental/).  
The drop-in auto sear is still in the game, even in experimental, by the way, but atomic cars are not (they got moved to a mod, last I know).

With “it’s long gone” kevin.granade means [it got removed from the game](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/commit/b48eb09c669342b5e8a05f56ab422e0e5a41fbd3#diff-0cecca7cd575f5b94a5b1454cac2883f) on the 16. of April this year and is out of the game since experimental build 10535 as far as I can see and tell.

Eating bullets is a quality of Hulks on their own, less of the kevlar part on them.  
There’s a topic discussing the spawn rate of Kelvar Hulks in which their designer [explains some base ideas](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/kevlar-hulk-spawn-rates-maybe-over-the-top/23343/9) s-/he had in mind while creating them.
