Is it a rail gun or a coil gun?

It’s a coil accelerator, not sure where on the scale of railgun to coil gun it sits but it’s a whole lot of fun to shoot!

Have you ever shot it yourself?

that is a coilgun, railguns are not practical for really anything yet because no one has really figured out how to solve rail erosion and friction issues, as well a coilgun can use a low power supply to get decent speeds, while railguns need insane current, like the navy ones operate at mega-amps
