Wow, check this gun out that William submitted. Thanks William!
Check out the photos and how it works.  Nice big ass capacitors, wow!

  • Two coils are precisely pulsed in sequence (350 Amp peak) to fire a steel projectile
  • Two infrared sensors detect the projectile position within the firing tube
  • Controlled by a PIC microcontroller
  • Powered by 8 AA NiCd battery pack
  • Built-in battery charger
  • Bar display tracks capacitor bank charge progress
  • Battery and Fault LED indicators
  • Laser targeting sight
  • Makes no sound when fired
  • Finally the device the whole world has been yearning for since the beginning of time!
