The only thing I really have to say is that the LOP looks a tad short. But, if this is for power armor guys, that's acceptable.

Sorry for my english. What is LOP?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Length of pull. The distance between the pistol grip and the butt. A short length of pull produces a very cramped, hunched shooting stance that's not ideal, an overly long LOP produces a weapon that's very awkward to handle. Of course, length of pull depends on the person, and on what you're wearing. Hence the popularity of telescoping stocks like on some members of the AR-15 family, which allow you to adjust the LOP to compensate for armor, thick clothing, or individual dimensions. Or why the AKs have such a short LOP: the Russians expected to be fighting in, well, Russia, where thick winter coats make a long LOP cumbersome.

Thank you for explanation. Yes, I agree with you, this gun could be more comfortable with some kind of telescopic stock.

I like your design and with the hopeful advancement of technology (as I talked about above) something like this could be possible with the traditional "clip" that you have acting as a battery and the rounds stored as shown in your piece. You may not know it but your art and designs show the possibility of technology. You have inspired a lot of builds and projects for me. I will have to share them with you when I make some.

That's not a damn clip. It's a magazine.

If you need to shorten it, call it a mag. But clips and magazines are apples and oranges.

You are completely correct; I just managed to forget while typing. Usually I am the one saying that, lol.

Thank you. I'm trying to combine some futuristic forms with current, like rails, magpul-style foregrip, ar-15 style lower, to make feeling of not far future weapon.

У Вас, месье, левел ап. Распределите очки способностей.

Ух ты, какая приятная игрушка!
Скорее всего это не гауссовка, больше на рельсотрон походит...
Перед спусковой скобой как я понимаю сменная батарейка?

Да, батарейка. Сверху магазин с пульками.

The scientist in me is screaming "RAIL GUNS THAT SIZE WOULD KILL THE USER! NOT TO MENTION EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF THEM AND BEHIND! THEY NEED TO BE BOLTED DOWN, AND EVEN THEN THEY CAN DESTROY WHATEVER THEY'RE BOLTED TO!"
Sorry, but hand held rails guns are not a possibility.

I have looked into the building of these types of guns and the real issue is in the energy. The numbers of joules needed to fire just one projectile at lethal speeds is around 1500J to 2000J. While this is achievable, the fire rate of the gun is limited to the amount of time that it takes to charge the capacitors, as no battery could withstand that much draw and still be mobile.
is right about how the recoil would be equivalent to the firing of a comparable weapon. The EM field could easily be reduced with a copper coil/faraday cage. The issue that is to be had with today's technology is that batteries are heavy, copper is heavy, and the number of rounds that could be ideally carried would add to the weight. Graphene is the latest technological advancement that could allow for higher energy density super-capacitors, i.e. better batteries and could make smaller round capacity versions of this possible. This has all yet to be seen and is still a dream that I would like to make come true (a side note about Graphene and it's recent advancements, www.greenoptimistic.com/2012/0… )

Are you sure? I'm only an engineering student but I've seen coil guns that are bigger that are portable. I would assume in terms of lethality to the user, since coil guns are much less efficient and require a higher power draw that a rail gun would be safer since 2 contact rails would just be stored inside the barrel housing vs. having a giant capacitor bank send a current through a solenoid. If anything at the size of this rifle it'd be fairly weak since it'd be very hard to draw a lot of power in such a small housing (assuming it fills up space like the stock).

Obviously you're not much of a scientist then.
It all depends on the mass of the weapon, velocity of the projectile, and mass of the projectile. If a railgun the equivalent mass of an AK-47 shoots a rod the equivalent mass of a 7.62 caliber bullet at the same speeds, the recoil is exactly the same. If you reduce the mass of the rod and increase its velocity, the recoil stays the same.
So at least from a recoil standpoint, railguns are very feasible.

Brilliant logic, minor nitpick: the AK-47 doesn't exist. It's a term invented by Hollywood and the CIA to describe a rifle the Russians called simply "AK (Type I-III)" or, after 1959, "AKM". Russian literature does mention an "AK-47", but it refers to the development program that produce the AK Types I-III, not any specific gun.

If you'll look a bit further down, you'll see a second comment that I admit that I am wrong. Any good scientist believes in what is fact, till that fact is proven wrong.

True, but in the future take time to think things through before you adamantly post about topics you know little of.

No need to get dickish guy. I admitted my wrong, move on.

Thank you. I mix up railgun and gaussgun, like this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWeJsa…

Actually, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed possible. So I did some research, and yes, hand held rail guns are a possibility, but no one has tried yet.
"It would be more difficult to engineer small arm rail guns, mainly because of recoil. Recoil, the backward action of a firearm upon discharge, is determined by the momentum of the escaping projectile. Multiplying a projectile's mass by its velocity yields its momentum, which for high-velocity rail gun projectiles would be considerable. A portable rail gun that fires very small bullets may be the solution. A small bullet would limit recoil but still carry enough kinetic energy to inflict serious damage."

The issue with small-arms railguns is the ridiculous overpenetration and minimal stopping power.
They would be outlawed by international treaties very quickly for being a cruel and inefficient weapon in war, much like flamethrowers, landmines and bushot were.
You can make the projectiles smaller and lighter to make the recoil manageable while still keeping the velocity (which is the whole point of railguns), but then you get a small arm that can overpenetrate all sorts of things and hit innocent bystanders miles away. It would not transfer its kinetic energy into a target very efficiently, making it ineffective for military, law enforcement and self-defense purposes, unless you can somehow guarantee to always hit a vital organ.
The solution for overpenetration would be to make projectiles flatten and widen on impact like lead bullets do, but to a much higher degree, and without relying on the impact force. We'd need projectiles than can drastically change their geometry remotely after being fired, while still having accurate ballistics.
