  1. The lower is the most essential part of any firearm. This is basically the lower of a coilgun. Opposite of a waste of time, gun structure and firepower aside, could be very lethal. Perhaps they can somehow be guided with that power to some sort of solid state accelerator? Is that possible with magnetic fields or maybe friction? I might just be high.

  2. The problem seems to be an undersize coil compared to the projectile. Also, if a small coil is used, raise the input power or use smaller/lighter projectiles. I think you could do better by putting a 50 lb magnet behind the chamber (breach) and magnetic projectiles (up to 1oz each and pull 1/2 lb each) loaded so they and the breach magnet face and oppose with the same polarity. Also, a 2.5" long fiberglass or polymer barrel to guide the projectiles.

  3. IS you gun using a regular low voltage power source ? i mean without capacitors ? you could use the same principle, with these short , weak magnetic pulls , on a longer barrel , and time them with optics , fit in as many stages as you cand and you may get ma Mach-1 linear accelerator

  4. I get the feeling that in the future, multibarrel coilguns whill follow the idea of the Nordenfelt gun instead of the Gatling gun (of Minigun, Vulcan gun)

  5. It's actually pretty damn difficult. You need quite a lot of power. He's already plugging that thing directly into a wall socket as it is. He'd have to have a capacitor, which will undoubtedly compromise the excellent rate of fire.

  6. OK looks nice i prolly couldn't do this but can't they make it more powerful and a bit straighter?

  7. THATS BECUZ ITS PLUGGED IN TO THE WALL YOU NEVER USED A 110 NAIL GUN WORKS JUST AS FAST AND RELOADS IT SELF BUT FROM SCRATCH HE HAS BUILT SOME THING VARY COOL HERE BUT NOT WORLD SAVING LOL

  8. just add either a more powerful two-stage coil or three-stage coil and apply more power, it could be lethal though if it is applied, it would be likely similar to an assault rifle that can be set to semi-auto fire or full automatic fire

  9. just add either a two-stage coil or three-stage coil and it could be lethal though if it is applied, it would be likely similar to an automatic rifle

  10. Last I checked there were no gun laws concerning magnetic weaponry. So it would be perfectly legal. (or should be) To own a rapid fire coilgun that can punch through steel…your your neighbors annoying little chihuahuah.
