Its a bit more complicated than that. The earliest light novels state on multiple occasions that IB can block the railgun. The manga seems to echo that information.

However, as GreatestSin has said, this should be impossible.

I have a feeling that Kamachi realised this later on. If one reads the latest volumes (NT7 and NT10). A different story is told.

When cycling through a list of tactics to counter Mikoto's ability, blocking the Railgun is NOT one of them. Instead, he either knocks the fist which fires the railgun to divert its trajectory or uses his precog to predict where it will go and dodges it (because it will always go in a straight line).
