For the geeks among us

[DJKOR]

It's a little bit of old news, but I only came across this earlier tonight and I want:

MV CoilMaster Mark1 Coil Gun

[Guest]

[Zeinheiger]

[trentmeyer23]

Granted it's kinda cool, but very weak. Just like most nerds :P Sorry had to throw that in.

[RedSportivo]

Why use that when u can use something half the size that does double the damage.

But still is interesting lol, and i reacon boxes :P he consumed

That's why I said it was for the geeks among us. It's the fact that you are using electrical and magnetic energy to propel something. Plus the fact it was built with readily available bits and pieces.

To some people, having made something themselves is more important than it's effectiveness when compared with an already existing solution.

And thats why i found it interesting because what it is and how its made it was a note of sarcasm what i wrote but i know as its text you cant sense the note of sarcasm :)

a real man's nerf gun

A few questions..

When does the Mark V version come out?

Is there an assault rifle/sniper variant?

Lol.

Uber cool invention. Light bulb definitely has to go. This looks like a small glimpse into future weaponry development/production.

Tesla coil rifle anyone?

Glass shell is definitely a bonus, get to see how everything works.

So wickedly awsome

[KIRIUS]

Needs to invest in pc covers, has the talent for plexi glass/neon design, dunno if id want to be issued with this and run round with guns on cords with disco neon features and a breakable lightbulb 5 cm from my eye with poisonous powder just awaiting for me to inhale.

hehehe, hes made wasted time constructive in the long run though :)

Saw something like this in the mid eighties on the old ABC version of Towards 2000.

This is a rail gun being setup and fired. The real action starts just after 3.00 mins
