      Yeah that coil is way too short to impart any serious amount of acceleration.

      No idea on that one, but you can definitely engineer railguns with off the shelf parts that can be put out similar energy to .22lr I think.

      Saw a video recently of someone creating a homemade railguns that could, if set up properly, exceed the Irish govt's firearms limitations.

      Hell, just searching YouTube I saw a bunch claiming "1.5KJ" which (depending on efficiency and projectile ballistics) could impact similar energy onto a target as a 9mm handgun, if my duck duck go-ing serves me right.
