Just watched a you tube video on a coil gun being made for civilian sales. Uses a power tool battery and 5/16 steel dowel pins for projectiles. Video can be found at Accu Flash labs.
While more in the pellet gun range of energy its technology and performance could improve fast.
That really stresses me out.
Now I have to decide to save up and get it first, or the flame thrower.
In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.
OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Get both, mount the flamethrower alongside the coil gun like Ripley did.
And I thought this was going to be about the Daisy BB gun.
If its the same one that Forgoten Weapons did the report on, you could get a friend and a catcher's mitt to catch the 5/16s pins for reuse.
Too heavy, too expensive, too underpowered. BUT, with improvements in technology...
BTW, I found info at ARCFLASH labs:

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool become servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11:29

Carpe SCOTCH!
Search YouTube for railgun, there are some out there that will put a projectile thru a car door. Big, bulky, power supply is not portable, the currents involved are scary and dangerous... when they blow up welding cable...
Coil guns may not be practical yet, but they will be.
We’ll know they’re close when the BATF ‘re-defines the term firearm to include them.
Watch this test, his later tests he used a lot of bolts instead of clamps

And another test with better connections, it penetrated a car door skin with a blunt aluminum projectile, if that was swapped to tungsten core inside aluminum???
