Can a gauss rifle be used as a weapon?
For your convenience a kit is available for this project from our partner Home Science Tools . A Gauss rifle (also called a magnetic linear accelerator) is not a weapon. It can however, launch metal balls at high speeds. Do not aim the device at anyone or anything.
Why don’t we use railguns as anti-tank weapons?
The impedance would be higher, causing the voltage between the rails to be higher. While using rail or coil guns as infantry small arms is problematic (due to the various issues already discussed), there may be a place for railguns as a man portable anti tank weapon.
Do magnets and steel balls affect the exit speed of Gauss guns?
We tested single-stage Gauss Guns with various sizes of our magnets and steel balls. By capturing the action with our high-speed camera, we were able to measure the exit speed of the steel ball. For a number of reasons, bigger magnets and steel balls doesn’t necessarily mean faster speeds.
How dangerous is it to touch a rail gun?
Each rail conducts high voltage and amperage current. Touching or getting close to one of the rails would be exceedingly dangerous. This weapon is probably not suitable for infantry use. One advantage of a rail gun would be if you ran out of loads but still had power you could just jam the rails against and enemy and pull the trigger.
