My Nerf Vulcan Coil Gun Project

[Resident-Genius]

hey there all. I used to post on the original totse website years ago until some shithead stole my gmail acct and totse acct, which was madfast. i think the douchebag may post here as well, but who knows if its the same guy or not.

Anyways, I'm building a coil gun out of a Nerf Vulcan, which is a fully-automatic, chain-fed blaster that (used to) fire darts.

the Blaster has been nicknamed the "Voltage", and is a 480+ Joule Coil Gun. Its not finished at the time of this posting, but more parts are arriving almost daily.

Ive been wanting to join a "Totse-style" community, and i know that zok and the zoklet is basically a clone. So here I am, back after many years.

Wasn't your password madfast? That's pretty dumb.

Pretty cool idea. How much do you figure it'll cost?

[Satyr]

Yeah, 'sall cool and all. But why use a fucking toy-pistol when making a gun that shoots lighting bolts? That's like making a perfectly realistically feeling sex-doll out of a yellow teddybear. I mean, it does cool shit but it's as still gay as a pink pony.

Edit: fucked up. Coilgun does not shoot lighting bolts, I know. My point still stands though.

How about a video of it firing??

What sort of muzzle velocity and firing range are you expecting from this? I started reading up on coil guns and rail guns a little while back, and it seemed to me like you'd need a fucking massive capcitor bank to really get any sort of interesting launch from one.

you're point is half-valid, i agree.

but look at it this way. making a revolver-action or repeater style coil gun has always had major design flaws, mostly having to do with the fact that these weapons are mostly made by DIY'ers.

with the chain gun style, i saw a way to utilize the stock clockwork and pneumatics to accelerate the bolt forward, tripping the eyes, firing the SCR's, and ultimately accelerating the projectile to its final peak velocity. i basically take a stock vulcan, adapt the chain to fit bolts, and retrofit a coilgun onto the end of the barrel.

almost every single coilgun out there is single shot, or bolt action. also, adding a 5KV stun gun bayonet circuit onto the muzzle would increase the likelyhood of mainstream acceptance, funding etc. half the battle of a practical coil gun is getting it to shoot more than once in a blue moon. nobody wants to carry a flint-lock pistol anymore do they? but captain jack sparrow sure seemed to think it was handy, back when it was the pinnacle of portable ballistic velocity lead accelerators. besides, this bitch is gonna be nearly silent.

This is going to be so awesome when you're done.
