I am going to start this thread, hoping it wil not boil into arguments, but I wanted to know how you feel about rail guns or EMP guns.
Being the engineer that I am I have played with a design or two, but nothing as mobile that can be carried on a person, mostly because of power required, too much weight in capacitors and/or batteries. I have seen some plans online that seem to work well though.
Just curious what you thought about this...

Looks good on paper but not a weapon portable enough to even mount on a tank (as of yet). Of course all things are subject to change...The general Electric Mini Gun for instance can be fired like Jesse Ventura handled one in Predator.....IF you can carry all the ammo to sustain fire with.....IF you can carry the Automobile size battery it will take to sustain power to keep the barrels churning. (The tiney battery they showed for Venturas was faked ) It takes a much larger battery to keep one firing. So unless you are build like the ROCK or VENTURA or HULK HOGAN then just go to the back of Popular Science and check out the two thousand dollar continuous wave gas lazers and buy the proper wavelength protective goggels and set back an relax knowing NOBODY is going to mess with you. YOU CAN DO THE FOLLOWING.... Blind the enemy two miles away. set their clothes on fire at one mile away. Burn down wooden structures a quarter mile away. Start brush fires to direct the enemy in the direction you would like them to travel. Blind armored vehicles drivers, gunners and commanders by putting the laser on their periscopes ; then they will be helpless to drive their vehicles or shoot their main gun or do anthing else.... THESE LAZERS ARE NOT THE LITTLE POINTERS USED IN A SCHOOL CLASS OR BUSINESS MEETING. gooooooood luck go get em Tiger!
