I wasn't denying that- I hadn't taken the magnetic counter-pull into account previously. Still, the recoil would be significantly less, and spread over time, so it would be very close. And significantly less is a very handy thing, with guns. I remember trying to use a shotgun as a kid- damn thing near took my arm off, and I think the pellet spread ended up going at about a 45* angle to my target. Pistols are better, but not too impressive- mostly good for breaking bottles. This would be a happy medium.:D

Meh - just get a 100-pack of Energizers and combine them into a grid-computing-type power source. :p

but the batteries would have much more strain on them

EDIT:  if you want car batteries, go to a local scrap/junk yard, buy like 5 batteries (probably less than $5.00 each) and then take them to NAPA... they'll test them for free, and i'll bet at least 2 of them will just need some more water, and a charge, and they'll be good as new :nod: :D

[color=66ff00]Bloody Hell!!

That's an impressive bit of DIY, would be rather dangerous to build given the mess a bad connection or short circuit could make, still it might be a worthy addition to the urban warrior's armory.

Still it doesn't even compare to this bit of inspired lunacy : Insta death

You can keep your coil guns, I want one of those! :nod:

What would you do with one million rounds a minute? Really, really kill someone?

The caseless thing's nothing new. It's also nothing special, in my opinion. Keep in mind you have to CARRY all that ammo you're using up in less than a second, and that this thing'd be a real ***** to load. Never mind that the barrel'd wear down pretty quickly, and, once again, what'd you DO with such a high rate of fire?


And yeah. There's the chance for the odd electrocution. But given the relative simplicity of the wiring and the fact that most any cheap civvie-model gun could explode when jammed and kill or maim you, it's not that bad

It's not caseless, it's simply got no firing pin.


BTW for portability, ease of construction and use, cheapness and availability of ammo/propellant and sheer bang-for-your-buck you really can't ignore the spud gun. It really is a thing of beauty. :nod:
