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 ...
The E-Shotgun, also referred to as the E-Gun, Northshore Sports Club CA-09, [1] [2] or the PD-90 Advanced Coilgun, is a hand-held automatic 9-stage coilgun designed by Lei Fengqiao and manufactured by China North Industries Group Corp [3] in Xicheng District, Beijing, China (as well as "other technology teams"). In 2023, the CS/LW21 was ...
A magnetic weapon is one that uses magnetic fields to accelerate or stop projectiles, or to focus charged particle beams. There are many hypothesized magnetic weapons, such as the railgun and coilgun which accelerate a magnetic (in the case of railguns; non-magnetic) mass to a high velocity, or ion cannons and plasma cannons which focus and direct charged particles using magnetic fields.
In a loss for the Biden administration, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that federal ban on “bump stocks,” gun accessories that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more quickly, is unlawful.
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 ...
GRS Riflestocks is a Norwegian manufacturer of firearm stocks known for their ergonomically shaped rifle stocks. [1] The headquarter and production facilities lie in Hornindal in Nordfjord, Norway. [2] The company originally manufactured furniture since the 1980s, and established itself as a rifle stock manufacturer in 2011 during the financial ...
Simplified diagram of a multistage coilgun with three coils, a barrel, and a ferromagnetic projectile. A coilgun is a type of mass driver consisting of one or more coils used as electromagnets in the configuration of a linear motor that accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity.
