>>25501127 How does this thing even work?

Why bother? It's inefficient and boring, you may as well smash people with hammers.

>>25501132 >inefficient and boring Tell me more about coil guns.

>>25501136 Basically a bunch of solenoids in series that get switched on and off in sequence. Railguns are cooler because they have sliding armature and high amperage and stuff.

magnets

>>25501139 No, you fucking imbecile. Tell my why it should be inefficient and boring. I think the opposite, they are fun and deadly.

>>25501142 >inefficient Probably because when your ferromagnetic projectile passes through the solenoid it induces a current in the solenoid that acts to slow the projectile down, like when you drop a magnet down a copper tube.

>>25501149 >inefficient US Navy has spent a lot of money on the research, all those problems should be solved by now. It's the future, baby!

Electric guns are the future of self defense (from the state) but chemical propellant is still more versatile, and probably will remain so forever

>>25501172 Bullshit, some pepper spray ain't lethal.

>>25501179 What does pepper spray has to do with anything?
