- PhasmaFelis 10y agoNo, railguns and coilguns are different. The second paragraph at your link explains the distinction.
- avodonosov 10y agoIndeed, thanks for the hint. I actually wanted to note, that electromagnetic guns is an old idea. (Even I came to it once, but of different design; and was surprised when discovered it to be already studied - in that article though they said this idea turned out to be impractical).
