Hi, did u make that gun ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I never got around to it. Might do it today, actually, since I've been wondering what to do. How have you been?

Looks Like something from either Ghost in the Shell or NeoTokyo

Very cool looking guns, man. Only thing I have to say is the barrel should NOT be offset from the main weapon, you basically need it to be one continuous rail for the concept to work. Anyway, keep it up, GUNS GUNS GUNS

this is one gun in different camp variations
The barrel is with gun u see it? that short thing called "kinetic charge barrel" ? 
thanks for comment is my first weapon desing and i like what you peoples think about it

I like the design but you obviously don't know how railguns work...

reminds me of the 75mm Railgun from EVE ONline. Although... the powersupply, if there is one, would have to be VERY small and VERY powerful, and the ammo clip a bit small as well. Railguns shoot small physical projectiles, and are not laser weapons. A real Rail-Gun Sniper Rifle, would be immensely bigger, maybe 5 times as big as this, mostly due to barrel and power supply alone. Maybe have this as a Mag-Rifle, Magnetic-Rifle. Not as near as powerful as a Gauss Cannon or a real Sniper-variation Railgun, but still able to fire small munitions at high speeds, if only at medium ranges. Mag Rifles also have the infinite possibility of being infinitely quieter than Railguns or Laser Rifles. Like a bow versus a current rifle. The only detection of a mag rifle, would be a small humming only heard from around 10-20 feet away, and the small piece of metal launched from the mag-ramp, WELL after it has left the gun only, whereas you can automatically just follow the trail of the railgun's vaportrail and you find the sniper, if you aren't dead already... Railguns will also be able to shoot down space vessels, whereas a Mag Rifle will not be.
It's a good design, but i would only use it in stealth ops if i had to, and maybe see about changing the mag rifle's mag-lights to a grey/black so as to be less-noticed. It'd be good for taking down unarmed targets at-range without being detected until the body is found, or seen having his/her head blown clear-off.
Even in Dust514, a railgun-rifle is still pretty large, and requires a decent-sized supply pack, as well as ammo cartridges.
Sorry if this comes out as too critical.

"It's a good design, but i would only use it in stealth ops if i had to"
Your forgetting that these would create a sonic boom from the supersonic projectiles.

Nope. About the only sound a mag-rifle of this design would make would be the 'clink' of it hitting a metal wall/fence, or the gut-wrenching 'squelch' of it ripping through a person's guts. Maybe a low-humming sound from the whole power... Theory of Sound.
Call me crazy, but at an OPTIMAL distance from a speaker, the sound is pitch-perfect. When you're too close to the source, it is garbled. But when you are too far away, it is muffled.

I'm not talking about any noise the weapon would make, like you said at most there would be a hum from the power source, etc. maybe a bang from the electro-plasma arc out of the barrel of a "proper" railgun and not some sudo-science design. What I'm talking about is that unless these rounds are propelled to speeds under the sound barrier, they would make a sonic "cracking" sound from it traveling faster than sound during flight. Only a small portion of the noise from guns comes from this report but it can carry quite a long distance and it originates from the bullet.

Mag-rifle is Magnetic. It uses electromagneticism to THROW a metal object. It uses no gunpowder, and the object thrown is usually under the sound barrier at the speeds it will usually travel. Railguns, though, are different, because they require massive amounts of power.
This gun in particular, is an open-barrel, as you can see, hence the silence i speak of. Pseudo-science it may be, but closer to the truth. A Railgun is louder and far more destructive. A mag-rifle, as i see this gun should use a LOT LESS power, is about as silent as a silencer on a low-caliber pistol, and does less damage.
Railgun > Magrifle : Damage
Railgun
You have not told me anything I don't already know. Here's whats up, I'm talking railguns, your talking mag-rifles aka gauss rifles. We are both assuming the design is what we're talking about, honestly I'm not sure which one the design is trying to emulate if either of them at all (I thought railgun because it has rail in the name but the sequence of magnets on the gun suggest gauss). I'm also saying that this design, although cool, would not work in real life as either (because of the magnet placement, it should surround the bullet path through the barrel not just emit force on one side of it, either pulling it into the magnets or pushing it in an upward sweeping arc).
To iterate so we are both on the same page: Railgun = Large size, high energy consumption, very loud, very high projectile velocity, may be a vapor trail for a short distance (until the sabot breaks away if used). Gauss rifle = Smaller size, lower energy consumption, quiet unless projectiles are supersonic (which I usually assume is the case), variable projectile velocities (can also be very high), no vapor trail. The main advantage of both is that they can easily have bullet velocities well over that of normal chemical combustion can generate (gunpowder ~1.2 km/s max) Both designs can also use chemical combustion injection as well for increased velocities (for closed barrel designs). Honestly though because this designs' purpose is that of a sniper rifle, regardless of rail or gauss, I would think that a bullet velocity of at least 1 km/s (3280 ft/s; mach 2.92) would be advantageous because they easily can among a whole host of other reasons relating to long range ballistics.

I digress, though, of the design, it doesn't have the feel of a 'sniper rifle', unless it is a Laser, much like in Halo2/3. The covenant forces had a similarly designed sniper rifle, although it looks to be nearly twice the size of this model.
I do agree on the physical dynamics of rails and mag/gauss rifles, with you.

It wouldn't work as a railgun because they work on a completely different (closed barrel) system than gauss guns do.

also open barrel, closed barrel, makes no difference and really means something other than what this design portrays.

I really appreciate your comment.
English is not my first language but i try answe as good as I can
...ok, so about size, ammo clip (battery unit) is not only that black part at rear-end of the gun. Is little bit longer and goes under case. My whole idea of this rifle was a verry high voltage electric charge getting throw outside from barrel on acceleration rail (that yellow generators with lights) gather speed and reach verry high velocity, similiar to acceleration gates in eve online.
Trail of the railgun's may be the problem, but only after shoot and not on long distance. Whole trail will be visible at first 300meters then trail get smaller and after some distance left only projectiles. I want make this rifle really long effective range something like 5000 / 10000 meters so from that distance, sound, rail trail, and acceleration rail light will be not visible.
I hope u can understand whay I wrote 
Thanks again for your comment is really rarity to get constructive comments on deviantart

When somebody fires an artillery cannon, how far after the shot do you see the vapor-trail of the round?
You would not see a vapor trail from a mag-rifle.
