PKK12 Gauss Pistol/M72 Gauss Rifle

It Wandered In From the Wastes
A time ago i found a site: http://www.gausspistol.com/
In the site you can buy a gauss pistol for aprox. US$ 400...
Maybe someone can make one PKK12 and/or M72 ("toy" ones, just for fun shooting, not for blasting armored foes.)based on this gun or from scratch (google gauss pistol/coilgun).
And, based on the game, How is the 2mm EC bullet? Is it 2mm wide or long? And WTF means EC?
 
Can't exactly buy one yet. It will be plans, or possibly a kit to assemble - he'd have all kinds of legal issues trying to sell a finished one. Does look neat though. In theory it could be redesigned in a rifle form, which would be more streamlined and have a higher exit velocity. The circuit boards would have to be completely redone, so it would be a lot of work.

Probably 2mm diameter, from the conventions on naming bullets. EC could mean 'electrically conductive', though technically it only needs to be magnetic (rail guns, on the other hand, do need conductive ammunition).
 
Gauss Rifle

However, there are lots of tutorials explaining how to do a coilgun. Maybe start one that would be more like the M72 (no laser sight and that CPU, only the gun)?
 
Aren't Gauss Rifles basically Rifles with enhanced Bullets?
The Bullets are then shot with gunpowder like guns usually are and then they are proppelled even faster in small magnetic chambers which increase the Bullets momentum while inside the Chamber making them faster as they leave?
 
Don't believe so. A Gauss gun is just a different name for a Coilgun, which uses a series of electromagnets to accelerate the bullet. AFAIK, the magnetic fields are the only propellant, and the gun itself has no moving parts and doesn't make any noise when fired.

I knew all those years playing GURPS: Space would pay off...
 
Still, its a magnetically-propelled bullet. If it can kill a Brahmin by shooting it throught the Udder then its good enough for me :lol:

Sorry that just made me laugh.
 
in the FO universe, the gauss rifle doesn't use a charge afaik. it's all magnetic.

2mm is kinda slim for a powdercharge anyway, so technically it would be difficult. (thought, yes i know there were bullets as small as 2mm (or was it 2.6mm?) irl, but they totally failed commercially, with good reason. regardless, the bullets they proppeled were tiny, and not long mofos like the 2mm EC picture)
 
M72 Gauss Rifle

Using some REALY strong magnets of the same charge of the bullet you could propel if forward, don't?
Ex:
Coil>----------_
Bullet ->
Coil>----------_
(>=charge start/ -= charge way/_= charge stop)
All using the - charge could repel the forward, with a eletrical pulse.

Same with bullet and coil with opposite charges, but than Pulling the bullet forward:
Coil------------------->_
Bullet ->
Coil------------------->_

Hey, this is off topic but rather than making a whole new thread...

In fallout do gauss guns fall under big guns, energy weapons, or small guns? Seemingly they could fit in any of them.

They the use energy to propel projectiles. I'm so confused :question:
 
Small guns. The means of propulsion is different, but they're still firing metal slugs. Energy weapons covers things that shoot energy (laser/plasma/etc.)
 
Definitly small weapons: i had a character with 130 something to small arms, 20% to energy and heavy.I shot with my gauss rifle with no problem.

2mm is kinda slim for a powdercharge anyway, so technically it would be difficult.

i'm thinking that should be the diameter of the bullet. Probably the smaller it is, the easier is to fire it through a coil. The barrel should be rifled, otherwise the bullet would tumble in flight.
 
I love pushing Brahmins over..., The bullets might be magnetically charged themselves? Such as the Chambers are Positive Bullets are negative thus helping in increasing the speed of the bullets.

Not really, no. A bullet can't have a single charge. Only if you have a magnet instead of bullet, with a positive and negative pole. But then it wouldn't fire, the bullet would stick to the barrel or the coil.
 
A magnetic monopole would be great. You could reverse the coils' fields as the bullet passes, which would then accelerate it even more.



'Course, you probably need to change the laws of physics to make one...
