For those who are wondering, a Railgun uses 2 rails that are both differently charged to propel a chunk of metal down range, while a coil gun uses copper coils wrapped around a barrel. Both use electricity, just slightly different in operation.
Exactly, both are using electro magnetic fields to launch projectiles. Same thing but different designs and some physics involved.
@@ch-ev5ee Coil guns normally are usually much lower velocity

The coil guns sound louder in the video because you're using compression filters on the audio data. Compression causes all the sounds present to appear within the same volume range when replayed, loud sounds are reduced and soft sounds are amplified. I'm a bass player so I have to use compression while recording, mixing, playing live etc. (This is very very simplified, compression can effect audio in a huge range of ways)

You know I was actually talking to a guy who was working on a prototype for something like those. End up having a 500 grain caseless standard looking bullet. But everything based on his specs since he couldn't get it any more powerful based on size capacity for batteries. I told him to lower the weight of that bullet drastically.

The disadvantage with coil guns is that you have to manage ammo and propellant (the battery) as two independent things, while in current ballistic guns the cartridge contains both projectile and propellant.
I wonder if, someday, that issue will be rectified in a similar way. My immediate thought is each bullet being attached to a battery that contains just enough power to fire it. It's probably unrealistic, but it's fun to think about.

So fun fact, coil guns dont just turn on and projectile comes out, the coils also have to turn off when the projectile pass. It it does not then the projectile would slow down and eventually just get stuck in the barrel because of the magnets.
That was explained in the beginning
@Matthew Harrup eat it
They look like capacitors to me. Not coils.
@Bronze Wolf Coil and railguns are very different he is correct these are coil guns
@@J.C... So you are correct. The things on the bottom are large capacitors. When a coil gun fires a round the magnetic field needs to be both generated and collapsed very quickly so capacitors are use for there very quick charge and discharge rates.
0:45 "put a thumb in that!"
I fucking died holy shit that is in the running for best jokes ever made on this channel
Fr
i really love your videos keep going
The slow mo when you dual wielded at the balloons straight up sounds like a lofi drum beat
And the nicest thing for range use is the fact that you can get one of those wheeled magnet pickers and recover a large amount of the spent rounds quickly.
or one of those magnetic cranes they use at docks just press the button and all the ammo and targets are cleaned right up
And the fact that its cheaper since they are just shaped pieces of solid metal.
I've been really interested in these ever since Ian talked about them on ForgottenWeapons a while back. ArcFlash has made great progress in coil/Gauss 'rifles'.

Your comment was awesome by the way.
I'm the sixty-ninth like over here, dudes!
hed have to make some pretty serious precautions all things considered, cuz the ammo isnt even the most dangerous part of those guns... its the capacitors powering the entire thing
3:09 Scott has the greatest trigger discipline I've even seen. In some of his videos I've seen him kind of flinch after shooting something up close that violently exploded and every time he takes his finger out of the trigger-well before re-directing his firearm. He's top level on safety. Lol, or as least until he decides to slap something. Glad your still with us buddy.
My guess is the last two times Scott pulled the trigger were delayed by the electricity recharging.
Lol nevermind Scott must of ate his Wheaties.
That or spinach.
YES!!! THESE CROSSOVERS ARE AMAZING!!!
I like how in the cinematic scene they filmed, the small guns, like all the rounds just bounce off his chest and do little to no damage at all
Scott might be one of the first dudes to fire two coil guns at the same time.
Maybe. But I know if I was the one making these, I would do it.
These are "just" cool now, but I could imagine being a lot more useful in the future, especially for specific applications. Great vid guy!
the big problem is weight.
To make them sufficiently powerfull they would have to have a bunch of very strong capacitors.
I don't see it used in the Infantry anytime soon, but battleships already got railguns and tanks could handle the weight. Especialy some next gen E tank or something
Oh yeah agree just cool but you cannot hunting with that rught?
If the public can buy something like this, rich private corpos developed way crazier weaponry probably in the 60s
Imagine what the military is developing
Imagine gnagnagnagna
I love you boys brother. Keep it up
Forgotten Weapons just put out a video on Arcflash labs latest model the GR 2. New configuration power source is a drill battery. It has a much larger single capacitor that's been moved to the rear. All in all a better design
these need to be added as another caliber for pen testing. They're just so cool
What it needs is more power for piercing and penetration, cause to me it just sounded week in my opinion.
@@metalpunk1234 yeah this technology is still pretty early and not that powerful, so far very few can shoot supersonic, give it a couple of years and you will see coilguns that are smaller AND shoot significantly faster

Crazy how fast these coil guns are advancing, this was pretty dang cool!
personally i think coil guns are advancing pretty slow, isnt really any change in the last 10+ years imo
its not changed at all
You mean turning batteries on to charge magnets in a particular order?
This is nothing more than a gimmick, did you have scalextrics when you were a kid? Same deal, except those cars moved way faster.
The batteries/capacitors/coils needed to make them as powerful as real guns alone would be world changing technology.
They basically would need to 20x more energy dense, they would enable so much crazy technology.
For perspective the last 2x increase in energy density made electric planes and drone taxis make sense.
20x would mean your personal little drone taxi could fly for 5 hours straight. Any corded power tools would be replaced with battery powered ones.
Robots could run for 30 hours without recharging. Cars would go 12k miles without recharging. Your phone runs a month without recharging.
I wouldn't be surprised if hover boards would be feasible then.
Basically imagine any really power hungry application will be made portable.
So yeah, it will still take a while lol.
They look really heavy

3:02 Muzzle discipline coming in clutch
Wonder how viable it would be to put the capacitors/batteries in a backpack and have an umbilical with thick wires carrying the charge to the coils. You could put shielding on a quick release backpack in case anything goes wrong with the capacitors/batteries, make the capacitors/batteries larger and make the handheld portion much lighter.
Slowdown there, Kaneda. Akira is still a little ways away.
The added inductance of the wires would round off the pulse from the capacitor. The magnetic field from the coil would not drop as quickly, causing drag on the projectile. I don't know how much of an effect that will have on performance.
@@JamieStuff the inductance and resistance of the wires would be minimal especially if the voltage goes up drastically due to battery size.
What about supercapaciters?
@@dananorth895 you mean large capacitors? It would depend on weight and size of electrical system that could fit. Power/battery life are inverse, the more juice you give it the less times you can use it until recharge
I mean these guys are super weird, but they always get a smile out of me, my two favorite gun channels.❤❤
MetalStorm. The 1,000,000 round firing system. Invented about 20 years ago right here in Australia (and you say we don't have guns 😅) Electronic bullets.. Insane stuff
I'm surprised how underpowered these are. Based on the size of those capacitors I was expecting more of a burst-into-flames-velocity kind of projectile speed.
They need high amp lithium polymere battery so they can dump faster.
It mostly has to do with the bullets changing form during flight. I've seen several of these, and the main problem is the same problem you have with muskets: the bullets don't stay straight after some distance. You can't use rifling for these, but maybe something similar to the fletching arrows have might help.
Correction: The bullets don't stay straight during flight after an effective range. They will still pack a punch, but the force of impact will be distributed over a wider area instead of on a single point.
That's what I expected. When he said 200 - 230 feet per second i thought maybe he mistakenly said that. then they shot it & it sounded like the old spring fired cork guns. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m really looking forward to how powerful these could become as the technology continues to get better. They shoot with about the same power as a Gamo .22 air rifle, which while not bad, is far from their potential
I hate when people use the word "technology".... technically this thing could have been made 100 years ago almost the exact same way... just with vacuum tubes instead of solid state... but even then a spark gap oscillator would have even more power.... but by the time this thing gets powerful enough the capacitors, coils, or batteries will still be massive.... look at the stupid tesla suv

Cool review 🔥
Man that's gonna be scary when these things take over conventional firearms, especially with how fucking quiet they are. Eventually there's gonna be ones that are strong enough to punch holes through people but quieter then a silenced .22
And just think anything the military has is usually 10 years ahead of what we see if civilan models can do this they probably already have ones capable of that they probably just aren't cost effective or as range capable I know they are still testing big ones on ships though true rail guns rather than coil guns I think they would only find true effectiveness in space but then lasers are also much more effective in space due to the lack of atmosphere.
Well there are some limits of physics at play unfortunately, as the technology currently stands, it will never enter infantry hands as a valid rifle-type platform. They work awesome on ships and static emplacements, but unless some revolutionary developments are made in our understanding of magnetic propulsion it just wont happen. And even if it does it will just never be cost effective.
@@memesarentfunny2248 The only way I can see it working is inductive coulguns with some REALLY good caps that don't yet exist, never mind the transistors required to switch them.
Batteries, capacitors, and inductors are constantly improving. Energy densities and power efficiencies are always increasing, but at gradual rates.
I'm guessing that these sorts of weapons won't stay very quiet when they're (eventually) able to fire projectiles at ballistic or Mach speeds.
@@pwnmeisterage battery tech is really not improving much right now, I suppose a backpack option could work or if they ever get fuel cells to work that might make a big difference. For a semi-static weapon, you could hook up to a generator :)
These are getting close to being lethal. Never thought I'd see the day.
If they will penetrate 1/4 inch pine board they are likely lethal. If you took a cranium shot with either of those I’d say they are quite lethal.
Best be believin' in cyberpunk dystopias.
_You're livin' in one!_
yeah, imagine if they put a sharper point on the bullets, that is definitely going in and causing some serious damage.
i question whether or not lethality is the goal for implementing one of these in certain real world scenarios. I feel like a much faster fire rate, larger capacity, and reasonably higher velocity on something like the smg sized one could prove more useful that the super bulky monstrosity you would need hold in order to achieve a lethal velocity. Getting hit by 10-20 disks in the span of a second, going really fast seems like it could be severely incapacitating.
Dont get me wrong its awesome to think that we could have lethal coil guns and its important for people to work on the technology. But i dont think its to crazy to think that this could be useful (with a few tweaks) right not in crowd control/higher stress situations in which a non lethal weapon is preferable.

most epic collab
Matt: we have futuristic weapons
My brain: his saftey glasses have a Borderlands Vault symbol on them!
I'm not the only one! And he went to a gun store that had a borderlands logo on the wall
@@Dbavbrand Makes sense since guns are literally worshipped in those games lol. If it wasn't for all the things that would kill me instantly, moving to Pandora wouldn't be half bad
Helllloooo travelers!
I know what you're thinking...YES, all of my guns were stolen from the hands of dead adventurers. 😂
The smaller coil gun looks like something Tediore would make
Here we saw two retired veterans, just having fun and games with their tactics.
Friendship.
As far as I know Matt didn't serve in the military
@@PUNISHERMHS_2021 Matt is a vet.. a veterinarian
@@peytoncrosby5892 comment says veteran, unless it was meant as a joke and I missed it
@@PUNISHERMHS_2021 Definitely didn't miss it. If he said 2 vets it woulda been a good joke. But calling Matt a veteran is just not correct. I'm sure Matt wouldn't like that either. Doesn't seem like the type to go for any stolen valor.
Kentucky Demolition is the best combination
