So I want to build a coil gun for a fun little project. The problem is i don't really know how. I was imagining something to the resemblance of a sniper, i know the basic materials, and have some of them just don't really know how to wire any of it.

Who cares about legality? As long as you don't get caught it's okay right?

we're canadian, it's illegal to own bearspray or pepper spray - plus, the nsa has probably already tagged all of us for using the keywords gun, illegal and 2nd amendment

oop, you just tagged yourself too - lol - i sometimes feel like just putting 100 keywords that would be flagged into a paragraph and posting it everywhere just to see what happens

Yea good point but again they need to catch you to sentence you and privacy laws (at least for now) protect us from random search and seizure so as long as you keep your research/toys a secret it's all good :D

I think that this is how you do it:

of course this is a rail gun instead of a coil gun.

ENCRYPTION IS NOT A CRIME
