DIY Rail Gun
Who's crazy enough to make lethal homebrew weapons? Watch the video clip to find out...
As soon as we saw this video clip, there was no question that it would make it onto our blog. I mean how many other rail guns have you seen? Let alone DIY rail guns.
Colorado Springs, CO maker Ravi Gaddipati has spent the last year working on his own DIY railgun, and while it might not be as powerful as the Navy’s rail gun (read our original article here), it sure packs some power – 5.6kJ to be precise. The clip below shows Ravi’s homebrew weapon in action.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!
So, don’t get the wrong idea, by no means are we suggesting that you go out and make yourself a rail gun. These things are highly dangerous (as is obvious from the clip) and highly illegal, or at least capable of being use in an illegal manner. For this reason we are not listing step by step instructions, although they are available on his site for the ultra inquisitive – http://rp181.110mb.com/index.php?p=1_30

I was wondering where i could get the plans on how to build this. I have a physics project that i need to make a railgun but i cant find plans for one anywhere
the creation or buiding of a railgun is not illegal unless stated within your local state laws, considering the funds and knowledge needed to manufacture a reliable railgun the US has no worries from the general public unless a personal railgun is developed and is reliable, then the laws will change to include these types of weapons to controle EM weapons platforms such as the rail gun.
Personaly I do not think the US will have an issue with handheld Railguns in the hands of criminals and if anyone did create a handheld version and sold it to criminals for illegal use then they would be stupid to think they would even get away with it for long. In any case I would think twice before playing around with one if you do not understand the velocities they are capable of and do not have a safe area to fire them in.
