Although the "GR" designation purports the device to be a "Gauss Rifle", as evidenced both by the company [1] and media reports, [2] [3] this is technically a misnomer on two counts—it is neither a rifle (as it doesn't use rifling) nor a Gauss gun (a type of accelerator that uses permanent magnets and is distinct from a coilgun).
Working independently, David M. Wirth developed the first hand-held railgun, the XPR-1 in 2015. [7] Shortly following this innovation, the two inventors partnered to form Arcflash Labs. [ 8 ] Within a year, the founders established the company and offered their first coilgun , the EMG-01A for sale, and in 2020 filed a patent on the power supply ...

Gauss guns are distinct from and predate coil guns , although many works of science fiction (and occasionally educators [ 1 ] ) have confused the two.
In 2001, an order was placed for 132 rifles of the upgraded version M82A1M (M107 in American service) to which were added one-piece Picatinny rail, monopod on the stock and various other small improvements.

Soviet Chief Designer, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev designed the Global Rocket 1 (GR-1). [1] The concept was to construct a missile that could be launched into low Earth orbit (150 km), from which a 1500 kg nuclear warhead equipped with a deorbit stage could be dropped to its targets in a non-ballistic manner and without giving away its target ...
