Terroxify · December 2009

So, lurking around I found this:

Some info about it:

Fully semi-automatic, up to 14 shots.

Capable of delivering over 18J kinetic energy, and speeds up to 110km/h! (42 gram projectiles).

It’s a single stage gun, using a 8800uF(4×2200) capacitor bank with max 400v (704J).

Max shot efficiency is 2.8% but reaches almost 4% at lower voltages.

Charge time for 300v (12J kinetic energy 396J capacitor bank) is 8 seconds for the mains connection,

and when using the internal batteries about 90 seconds. It also has a Digital voltage display.

Coil overheat after 14 shots at 300v.

Total weight: 5 kilograms.

Total spend: ~~ 100 Euro

Construction time: ~~40 Hrs

A coilgun that is small enough to hold in your hand is going to do no damage to a soldier wearing armor.

we dont care how bullets fly, we dont need a see-through gun that has an incandescent ligh bulb to tell us that it doesnt work!
