No not 1000% efficent but I made a coilgun, four gram at ~10km/s. so what's the issue you say? well If I change much of anything the velocity drops to 1-4km/s (it differes depending on what I change) Another one is that with a basic blank coilgun, if you increase the loader power and bore radius and nothing else you can shoot 1g slugs at up to ~10km/s |

it also doesn't matter what the coil is made of

I can confirm some strangeness. Increasing the rate of fire with a default "new" coilgun increases muzzle velocity while reducing efficiency. The Coilgun below is 0% efficient, but somehow manages to get 449 joules out of 7.12 Microjoules. |

now this, this looks like a good one. I will now see how stupid you can make these things.
