Rail gun concept
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:05 am
I had a question about a gun concept. What I am asking is, “Is this concept scientifically plausible, or would it be possible under the EXACT right conditions?” My concept is called the CGRG (charged gas rail gun) you would load some sort of particle into a chamber (it could be ferromagnetic gas or maybe even individual atoms and electrons or something) the chamber would charge the particle in a way that makes them dangerous to humans. Before the firing process, there would be an instrument creating an electromagnetic field that would house the gas. Upon firing a small hole would open up and a magnet would push the gas out. Would a thing like that be easier to just get a dangerous gas and just fire it with pressure instead of magnetism? Another problem would be diffusion because we wouldn’t want the gas to blow in our face. What gas could we use that would instakill someone? Iodine has? What would the velocity have to be in order for it to not be lethal to the weirder.

My question is, “Would it be theoretically possible?” A weapon concept that isn’t fully fleshed out is called the PGR-2046 (penetrating gamma rifle) I suppose the year isn't relevant. The rifle has 5 main components. These three are for the gun. A small module that can cause a gamma burst, a device that would focus the gamma beams to fire in the direction you’re pointing, and an infrared sight to see your opponents through walls (because I think gamma can go through walls). The 2 other things would be a huge battery which would supply the plasma shield. I remember reading somewhere that instead of lead lined spacesuits, that they were experimenting with plasma.
