A railgun has a higher velocity, and could potentially have a higher rate of fire than coilguns,is less tecnologically complex, and can even be used as a mele weapon if you run out of ammo(shove the muzzle in their face and pull the trigger and you not only smack them with a sliding armature traveling at mach speed but …
Is a railgun more powerful than a coilgun?
The advantages of rail guns is that they are much simpler to build and operate than a coil gun. They are also more powerful as they have a direct contact between the projectile and the rails while the coil gun has a gap between them.
What is the difference between a coilgun and a railgun?
A railgun has two parallel conducting rails with a sliding armature between them. The armature is propelled by a high-amplitude current – sometimes more than a million amps. A coilgun is a series of electromagnetic coils laid end to end which attracts the projectile down their centerline.
How accurate is a coilgun?
Above 90% efficiency is estimated for some vastly larger superconducting concepts for space launch. An experimental 45-stage, 2.1 m long DARPA coilgun mortar design is 22% efficient, with 1.6 megajoules KE delivered to a round.
Is railgun better?
a day ago Railgun might handle certain arcs (and characters) better than Index, but the latter is more relevant when it comes to worldbuilding, plot development, and character follow-up.
Why are coilguns so inefficient?
Why do I think coilguns are so inefficient? Because they inherently have a long "air gap" down the middle of the firing tube. It builds in a relatively huge amount of magnetic reluctance in the magnetic circuit.
How powerful is a coilgun?
The GR-1 is a coilgun that can accelerate a ferromagnetic projectile with a diameter of 0.5 inches (about 1.27 cm) up to 200 feet per second (60.96 meters per second: about 220 km / h) and can generate muzzle energy of up to 75 feet pounds.
Do coilguns recoil?
As I understand it, the simple version of how they work is that a projectile is accelerated forward by electromagnets. Now, in a regular gun, there's rapidly burning/exploding gunpowder which causes recoil. But a railgun doesn't seem to have any propellent pushing back against the shooter.
Should I start Railgun or index?
It helps that chronologically, Railgun starts before the events of Index , making it a perfectly accessible entry point to the Raildex franchise . It's not hard to find people who swear by Railgun , but who either haven't watched Index or think very lowly of it.
Is Railgun worth watching?
There are a number of elements that make A Certain Scientific Railgun an excellent viewing experience. Everything from all that is Academy City, the characters and supporting cast, (English dub) voice acting, soundtrack/score, character design, animation and the lore are all fantastic.
