Magnetic Weapons	comment	You ever take two magnets and try to place them together, only to find that, with their poles aligned, they fly apart from each other? You ever play with them to see how far you can launch one using just the magnetic force alone? Ever think to yourself, "Hey, someone could make a gun out of this"? Fortunately, you're not alone. Call it a railgun, a magnetic accelerator, a mass driver, a MAC, a Gauss cannon, whatever, they all refer to the same category: a weapon that uses pressure of magnetic fields instead of an explosive chemical reaction to propel a projectile. This is a fairly common weapon in Science Fiction. In Real Life, they are only just beginning to enter military use (as of 2015), but have long existed as experimental devices and toys. The Other Wiki elaborates. Note that there are 2 main types of magnetic weapons: Railgun — projectile connects an even number of conductive rails with a strong electric current flowing through them and through the projectile, which is accelerated along the rails due to Lorentz force; essentially a linear electric motor. Not to be confused with rail-mounted artillery. Coilgun — uses a series of electromagnets (coils) switched on and off to accelerate a projectile. This device is what "mass driver" meant originally. Railguns have the advantage that they are relatively simple devices and yet are still capable of very impressive muzzle velocities, limited only by the amount of available electric current and the robustness of the gun.note And perhaps relativistic physics in settings where nearing the speed of light is a realistic concern. Their primary limitation after the amount of available power is the direct contact between the rails and projectile moving at great speed under current; the stress on the rails is immense, leading to extreme wear and tear. Heat adding up from friction and imperfect electric contact leaves vapors and plasma trailing after the projectile. Earlier railgun designs (proofs of concept rather than anything practical) often needed to completely replace the rails after each shot. Also, the whole circuit from the capacitor forward is under full current and thus pressure. Coilguns, on the other hand involve far less stress on their components, and therefore don't wear out near as quickly. Instead, they are limited by needing far more complex control systems to activate and deactivate the coils in time,note the classic demonstration is an aluminium ring jumping off a coil when it's turned on. But steady acceleration requires doing this repeatedly, as close behind the projectile as possible and the speed at which the coils can be turned on and off is limited by the coils' inherent inductancenote electromagnetic "inertia" defining how fast energy can get to or from the field (with exotic proposals such as superconducting coils that are laser quenched to turn them off) and magnetic saturation point of the projectile. They are however better suited for launching more massive projectiles at low speeds. The original idea of "mass driver" was to hurl tons of ore from the Moon's surface for orbital or suborbital pick up. A subtrope of Fantastic Firearms. See also Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better. Compare Magnetism Manipulation when people themselves control magnetism to hurt you. When it's the main weapon on a ship and it's pointed forward, it's a Fixed Forward-Facing Weapon. It is in no way related to the trope of Sticks to the Back or Magnet Hands. If you were looking for the anime with the name "railgun," please see A Certain Scientific Railgun.

Magnetic Weapons / int_1670bd19	comment	The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has the Gauss Rifle, which looks almost exactly like Fallout 2's Gauss Rifle, but with synthetic furniture. It is usually an endgame weapon that far outmatches all other weapons in stats, but counterbalances this for its rarity of ammunition and sometimes half-decent working condition. In Call of Pripyat, however, the gun is essentially an Infinity +1 Sword thanks to a mechanic in the first map who can sell you an unlimited amount of a lesser-quality ammunition (though it's still powerful of course, even though it lacks the power that normal battery packs have) at the price of 2000 rubles for each homemade battery pack. This is available once you show him the Gauss Rifle after the Pripyat Hospital ambush and complete his little side quest concerning information of the unique Item 62 weapon. It's mentioned that those Gauss Rifles are made by gunsmiths in the Zone with whatever they can scrounge and rely partly on the miraculous properties of the artefacts salvaged there in order to work, thus handwaving the issues that building a man-portable Gauss rifle would have in real life.

Magnetic Weapons / int_19350db9	comment	Master of Orion 2 has quite efficient rail guns (called mass drivers) and coil guns (called gauss cannons). From the original game, there's the Gauss Autocannon. Each round doesn't do much damage, but it fires 4 times each turn, and unlike the sequel's Gauss cannons, they halve the effectiveness of shields, making them viable for longer than their energy-based contemporaries. 4X, meet More Dakka. In the second game, auto-firing (3x shots) Mass Driver is the best point defense weapon in early and middle game — enveloping Fusion Beam hits 4 missiles (or fighters), but due to bad range dissipation is really good only for the last-moment shot at incoming threat. Conversely, non-dissipating Mass Driver is better against far missiles — ones striking in the next turn or heading to other ships, so you can get 6 shots per weapon instead of 4. Gauss cannons are also an option in the third game. Following on from the Master of Orion series, these have become a standard part of the three weapon types frequently seen in similar games — mass drivers, lasers and missiles. Usually, mass drivers are better at penetrating shields but are blocked by armour. They may also have shorter range but not suffer from damage falling off with distance. This can be seen in Stellaris, Galactic Civilizations, the Master of Orion 4 reboot, and many others.

Eventually she got a spinoff series of her own, aptly named A Certain Scientific Railgun. Despite the lack of actual rails for her to use, this is theoretically feasible because she doesn't just emit electricity, she controls electricity. By shaping electricity into virtual rails in the surrounding air she can generate the required magnetic field without any physical conductors.

The darts themselves aren't that dangerous if the target is immune to the neurotoxin, though they're at least strong enough to take down armed drones. And Jacob's gun is mistuned so it produces arcs of lightning when it fires. The electricity output is also enough that, at point-blank, it can act as a fairly effective taser, which proves key when fighting Joey.

Magnetic Weapons / int_383c39a5	comment	With This Ring: The railgun is the favored weapon of the main protagonist. It's Boring, but Practical, since it costs very little avarice or ring charge to create one (he normally makes them in batches), and they can easily be loaded with various kinds of specialist ammunition (such as "Crumbler" bullets that disintegrate matter and collapse force fields). Also, since he can just recreate construct railguns at any time, he doesn't have to worry about accumulating wear and tear on them like a real railgun. He later collaborates with a local firing range to make a weapon even more practical and reliable than the AK-47, resulting in the "Cobra" coilgun. Replacing the usual rounds with magnetically accelerated plain iron slugs gives it a better rate of fire, better accuracy in full-auto mode, the ability to dial the power up or down, and lower ammunition costs (offsetting the slightly higher up-front cost), while being even more rugged than the AK-47 and having more easily interchangeable parts.

Magnetic Weapons / int_390a0da6	comment	Steel Battalion has two railgun variations. They have limited ammunition (8 or 10 rounds), the non-fixed-mount version is very heavy and will limit weapon loadout options in addition to being limited to a few VTs, it consumes a lot of battery charge when firing, and there is a delay before it fires...but it will destroy any VT with just 1 or 2 shots, has a very long range, and the projectile travels too fast to slidestep out of the way once fired. The trick to dodging it is to slidestep just BEFORE it fires so that the FSS overcompensates and misses wide, but that won't do the victim any good if he's the target of TWO railguns, one fired a half-second after the other. Needless to say, it's one of the most feared and used weapons in the game's arsenal.

Magnetic Weapons / int_3cf15492	comment	As it's an adaptation of BattleTech, the MechWarrior and MechCommander series have Gauss Rifles as a standard weapon for the mechs; massive range and firepower with no risk of Over Heating, but expensive with limited ammo and a tendency to explode when damaged. The games also usually feature the other two major variants, the Light Gauss Rifle that can poke an enemy across the map but deals less damage, and the hammer-of-god Heavy Gauss Rifle that can reliably punch a hole through most mechs with careful aim but has comparatively poor range and abysmal ammo efficiency. In one MechCommander 1 expansion pack scenario, the MacGuffin of the battle is a cache of Star League era Railguns that dwarf the firepower, range and accuracy of the Gauss Rifles (but carry half as many rounds of ammunition). Fortunately, the Smoke Jaguars have only managed to excavate and mount one of these so far. Unfortunately, the ace piloting the specially-modified Vulture carrying it is good enough to take down most of your forces before you get into targeting range. The Behemoth II and Marauder II in MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries' fan-made mektek expansion can both mount a dorsal railgun which is a BFG by even 'mech standards. Mechwarrior Living Legends adds the Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle, and the Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle. The HAG, available in salvo sizes of 20, 30, or 40 slugs, is a ultra-high velocity rapid fire Gauss machine gun that has extreme burst damage but mediocre sustain damage due to the capacitor having to recharge between salvos. The Improved Heavy Gauss deals slightly less damage than standard Heavy Gauss and has even worse ammo economy, but has no damage falloff at range and a higher overall maximum range. In BattleTech, a Turn-Based Strategy game based closely on the tabletop version, Gauss Rifles serve as an extremely rare Infinity -1 Sword because in the pre-Clan Invasion era the game is set in, Gauss weapons of any kind are Lost Technology that nobody can build on their own. You only get a single gun in the entire campaign, mounted on an equally unique Royal-grade SLDF Highlander 'Mech, and if it is destroyed in battle (which will happen sooner or later), there's no way to replace it. On the upside, it retains all of its power, range, accuracy and headchopping capabilities from the tabletop, so with an appropriately skilled pilot at the helm, your Highlander has an 18% chance to One-Hit Kill any 'Mech from across the battlefield with a well-aimed Precision Shot to the cockpit.

It fires a 15 cm tungsten slug at hypervelocity for a yield of 1.1 gigajoules (about a quarter of ton of TNT equivalent), and its coils charge fast enough to launch one of these shots every three seconds (22 GJ/minute). At 32.6 meters, it's 5.6 times smaller than a standard frigate MAC by length and about two hundred times smaller by volume. However, when deployed in ground warfare, its power is completely overwhelming; the Player Character uses it to outright shatter several Phantoms with single shots, before placing a single well-aimed shot to a battlecruiser's Wave-Motion Gun, causing a backfire that destroys the whole ship.

One of them is hit by debris from said asteroid and rendered inoperable, as seen in the mission where you have to destroy it. It's later used as an anti-aircraft weapon with an effective range spanning practically the entire continent it was built on. Fridge Logic kicks in when you realize that the curvature of the Earth should make that impossible. Expanded media on Stonehenge reveals that it zig-zags this trope, because it actually only partially a railgun; the weapon uses an explosive charge to get the slug up to speed, then a rail system takes over and accelerates it to maximum velocity. The reason behind this unique system is that launching the projectiles using only the rails built up too much heat to be manageable. Chandelier, a weapon of similar design is seen in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. Like Stonehenge, it was built to shoot down asteroid fragments; however, Estovakia, the country that built it didn't complete it in time for when the "big one" struck the planet and the country suffered significant impact damage as opposed to all the other nations with similar operational systems. The fallout from its failure leads to the continent-wide Emmeria-Estovakia War that is the focus of the game itself. A portable railgun also exists in the form of the Electromagnetic Launcher exclusive to the CFA-44 Nosferatu, which has since reappeared in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and Ace Combat Infinity alongside the CFA-44. Ace Combat: Joint Assault also features an enemy railgun, used largely as the obligatory altitude-restriction mechanism. You do get to destroy it eventually. In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the Electromagnetic Launcher reappears as a special weapon for a couple aircraft. Mihaly also utilizes one on his aircraft during his final fight with Trigger. The game's DLC missions revolve around the Alicorn, a gigantic submarine of incredible power that carries an entire array of EMLs in AA turrets that fire in salvos, plus an enormous forward-facing railgun artillery piece that can launch nuclear warheads at targets thousands of kilometers away.

It's never explained (or even mentioned) why they don't just get a giant beam cannon like their squishy comrades, and once plasma weaponry becomes available, MECs start using it along with all the others. The Tier 3 shotgun equivalent is also one of these, launching pieces of repurposed alien hull material using a magnetic field that's pretty similar to the one the alien plasma weapons use. Presumably this was considered less silly-sounding than a "plasma shotgun", which makes even less sense than its laser equivalent.

Because its projectiles are not self-propelled, they're not classified as the "missiles" restricted by existing arms treaties, nor do they produce a detectable heat signature. (Realistically, a launched projectile going fast enough to achieve REX's intercontinental range would produce a lot of heat just from air friction, but also be impossible to intercept anyway.) Metal Gear Solid 2 has Fortune, a terrorist leader, use a massive handheld railgun she stole from Lockheed-Martin. The Rail Gun returns in Metal Gear Solid 4, initially as Crying Wolf's weapon, but later acquired by Snake. A fully charged shot from it will take a Gekko out in one hit. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has the railgun as the primary weapon of the AI Weapon Chrysalis, from which it can be salvaged for use on Metal Gear ZEKE.

They are also mounted at ground bases to serve as anti-fighter weapons. Eventually, after the Asgard commit mass suicide and give all their tech to the United States, Asgard plasma beam weapons become the primary armament of the Daedelus-class, arguably subverting this trope, though those ships also maintain their railguns and nuclear arsenals. They stay effective as anti-fighter platforms. And, given the Wraith's ability to shoot down nukes before they even get close, railguns are occasionally used to great effect against their hive ships, though only when their projectiles caused secondary explosions inside the hive. Otherwise, the hive ships' sheer massiveness prevented the guns from doing any significant damage.

Magnetic Weapons / int_755b343f	comment	Halo has its MACs (Magnetic Accelerator Cannons), which are the main armament on UNSC ships and orbital defense platforms. The ones on ships take a rather long time to charge (they can be fired quicker, at sub-full-charge, at the expensive of power), up to several minutes going by a quote from Halo: The Fall of Reach, but at full charge they hit with the force of tactical nuclear weapons and are capable of killing enormous shielded enemy warships in usually only one to three hits. Rather more down-to-earth versions include the M68 Gauss cannon mounted on some stationary defenses and Warthog jeep variants. The supporting novel Halo: Contact Harvest speaks of the origin of the MAC as a waste disposal method. It was used to launch garbage at the parent star from the surface of a planet, meaning it had to reach well beyond escape velocity after accounting for atmospheric drag. Its use as a weapon came when the Covenant attacked Harvest. Previously, human warships mostly just used missiles (both conventional and nuclear), because their only opponents were other humans. They were all glass cannons as a rule, lacking Deflector Shields, and even a single well-placed Archer HE missile could mission-kill a human warship. When the Covenant came onto the scene with shielded ships capable of shrugging off literally hundreds of HE missiles each (with point-defense capable of picking off more), giant MAC guns taking up a significant area of the ship started to be deployed because they were the only weapons that could reliably kill Covenant capital ships. The quoted powers of the MACs and coilguns indicate that some details of physics were skipped over. For example: the orbital Super MAC stations can fire 3000 tonne projectiles at 120 km/s. Their relativistic kinetic energy is therefore equivalent to a 51 gigaton explosion. For comparison, that's equivalent to about 1,000 times the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated. At the very least though, it would explain why just one shot from said super-MAC can punch clean through a Covenant Capital Ship with fully-powered shields and do the exact same thing to the ship or two behind it when even normal MAC guns mounted ships usually need to weaken the enemy shielding with a hit or two before hoping to punch through the armor. Later sources clarified that the Super MACs for which that figure was given were abnormally powerful, and that most have lower projectile velocities... though it does make one question why they'd go for such overkill, considering regular ship mounted MACs (which dish out shots in the kiloton range) are more than capable of killing nearly every Covenant warship with a few shots. Proper infantry-scale railguns are available from Halo 4 onward. They take a second to charge up, but they can kill the vast majority of enemies in a single hit. However, their dedicated anti-infantry role means that standard railguns don't do quite as much damage to vehicles as you'd expect them to; they'll one-shot a Spartan, Sangheili, or Promethean, but a Banshee or Warthog will shrug the hit off with fairly little damage. However, the "Arclight" variant in Halo 5: Guardians has armor-piercing high-explosive rounds designed to do extra damage to vehicles. A smaller-scale MAC, the Onager, is usable by the player in the final level of Halo: Reach. It fires a 15 cm tungsten slug at hypervelocity for a yield of 1.1 gigajoules (about a quarter of ton of TNT equivalent), and its coils charge fast enough to launch one of these shots every three seconds (22 GJ/minute). At 32.6 meters, it's 5.6 times smaller than a standard frigate MAC by length and about two hundred times smaller by volume. However, when deployed in ground warfare, its power is completely overwhelming; the Player Character uses it to outright shatter several Phantoms with single shots, before placing a single well-aimed shot to a battlecruiser's Wave-Motion Gun, causing a backfire that destroys the whole ship. The M99 Stanchion is a coilgun sniper rifle capable of reducing targets to a cloud of Ludicrous Gibs. Originally introduced in the Expanded Universe, it makes its first in-game appearance in Halo Wars 2. Various guidebooks note that the point-defense turrets on UNSC ships and stations are all coilguns.

Magnetic Weapons / int_76b8cb10	comment	The Fallout series features a few Gauss (coil) rifles, and even a Gauss pistol. They tend to be in the top tier as far as weapons go. Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel has a Gauss minigun. The Gauss rifle makes a return in Fallout 3, where it was an Infinity -1 Sword limited only by its VATS-related bugs and single-shot capacity. In New Vegas it's still a powerful gun but drains ammo much faster. It also has a unique variation called YCS-186 which has a longer barrel and higher damage output but needs repairs more often. In both games it's beaten only by the Tesla Cannon, Alien Blaster and Gatling Laser as the best energy weapon (all of which have their own issues) and is capable of knocking down a Deathclaw (if not outright killing it.) The Gauss Rifle returns yet again in Fallout 4, looking more like a futuristic crossbow than its previous iterations. It has been retooled for Fallout 4 as well, featuring a charge mechanic (where you can hold the trigger down for some extra kick) and a 7-shot magazine, however, it now uses the expensive 2mm Electromagnetic Cartridge. The Gauss rifle (like many other weapons in the game) can be modified into a good option for picking off powerful targets.

Magnetic Weapons / int_7988cb68	comment	The projectile weapons in Mass Effect are essentially small-scale railguns which use the titular effect to lighten the projectiles they fire. This allows the projectile itself to be accelerated to greater speeds, increasing the damage done significantly while also decreasing the recoil (as there's no propellant ejected). The main guns of all warships use the same principle. Larger ships can mount longer rails, allowing for greater acceleration and damage. The main gun of every ship is a spinal cannon running 90% of its length, with secondary weapons including broadside railgun turrets running 40% of the width (the Kilimanjaro-class dreadnought, for instance, has 156 such turrets- each side of the ship having three decks of twenty-six turrets each). Tertiary weapons include point-defense lasers and torpedo tubes. Because of the effectiveness of point-defense weaponry, missiles have largely been rendered obsolete in space warfare (at least against modern warships), leaving railguns as dominant. In a hilarious instance of Shown Their Work, the writers slipped in this tidbit to show what the actual ramifications of space-age railguns with mass-reducing technology would be in military training. This is referenced again later, when Shepard is told about a massive crater on a planet that turned out to be from a rogue shot by a massive, experimental railgun — located in a completely different solar system. The implication of launching a projectile with a kinetic energy of 150 TJ every five seconds is that even assuming perfect efficiency in the launch system the ship needs to be generating at least 30 terawatts of power (30 TW * 5 seconds = 150 TJ). To put that into perspective, a typical nuclear power plant might generate about 1-2 gigawatts.note This is, however, sidestepped in-universe using the titular mass effect. Projectiles are reduced in mass to make acceleration to ultra-high velocity relatively energy inexpensive, at which point the field is dropped, causing the projectile to return to its normal mass for impact. According to the in-game codex, thermal dissipation rather than energy generation is the main limiting factor of weapons in the game's universe. And note that the Everest-class described in the above quote is a nearly forty-year-old design (it was still in use in the First Contact War). According to the codex, modern warships fire both their broadsides and their main guns every two seconds, making it more like 75 terawatts for an 888-meter dreadnought. And 888 meters is small for a dreadnought, being between 700-meter heavy cruisers (which are just volumetrically scaled down dreadnoughts) and the more common 1,000-meter long dreadnoughts in size. In Mass Effect 3, on Tuchanka, there's a battery of three ground-to-space coilguns which are each easily 100m long, and presumably powered by ground-side generators. Multiple planet descriptions (e.g. Korlus) mention that ground-to-space weaponry is cheap and common in-universe, but have the obvious disadvantages of being static targets, making it easy for anyone with a warship crusier-level or up to simply pick off those positions from millions of kilometers away while easily dodging any counter fire.note The codex points out that, functionally, starship weapon range is only limited by the ability of the opponent to dodge.

As the Gunnery Sergeant reminded us, any shot fired in space will just keep going forever, and calculating mechanical accuracy for targets that are effectively stationary (planetary orbit being very easy to account for) is child's play to a society capable of building spaceships in the first place. And later, there's the massive coil gun in the Geth Dreadnaught, which is so massive that every shot sends a huge blast of electromagnetic energy through the maintenance corridors next to it. And then you use the barrel as a shortcut to get to the other end of the ship. Even the Reapers use them: those Wave Motion Guns they like to fire? Not lasers. Not particle beams. They are streams of molten metal moving at relativistic speeds. The firing mechanism involves magnetism, even though molten metal has no magnetic properties. Given the sheer technological advancement of the Reapers, though, it's not out of the question that the metal may be superheated in a tiny fraction of a second after being already launched. The Wave-Motion Gun mounted on the Reapers also runs into another problem when you realize that as massive as they are, the Reapers don't have an infinite supply of molten metal in their interiors to shoot at targets. The codex handwaves this by noting that the Reapers have no apparent need to refuel or resupply, and points out that this is physically impossible.

Magnetic Weapons / int_8ac4e993	comment	These pop up occasionally in the various Gundam series. Older series (Universal Century) treated railguns as unique prototypes or curiosities. They were more ubiquitous in the newer series (Cosmic Era) but were pretty much a "filler" weapon added if a unit had extra space left. The newest series (Anno Domini) have these being the most advanced conventional weapons available before Applied Phlebotinum makes energy weapons commonplace and even then the vast majority of military mecha (being of older make) still use them. Also, the launching mechanism for Humongous Mecha in Gundam SEED used these: The mecha was given an initial boost of speed via an aircraft carrier-style sled and then propelled forwards by magnetic rails extending from the ship. Very large mass drivers were also the standard method of launching spacecraft from Earth to orbit. The fact that only a handful of these mass drivers are intact during the war makes them key strategic resource: two major battles are fought to secure mass drivers in order to send large numbers of troops into space.

However, they're not very good against armor. In many novels, this is when the protagonist usually finds some centuries-old plain old assault rifle firing chemically-propelled bullets. While it's justified that those found on derelict hulls in space would still work (no oxygen to rust the weapon or bullets), there's no justification for those found on planets still working even after 1000 years, except an extreme case of RagnarÃ¶k Proofing (this may be justified by many of them being found in or near colony ships sent into the unknown during the early period of space colonization). Space-based kinetic weapons don't usually rely on kinetic energy alone and explode on impact. Same for Humongous Mecha-based ones.

Magnetic Weapons / int_a4a6b86a	comment	Firearms in Code Geass developed in different ways than in our history. From their earliest iterations,◊ actually, they seem to all be what amounts to a small coilgun; gunpowder as we know it either came later, or not at all.note They do have fireworks of course so the potential is there but never implemented. That giant silver pistol that everyone and their dog is seen totting? Look closely; it's got a revolving cylinder around the middle, and the rest of it is just coil bearings inside. If our world had naturally-mined non-cooled superconductors around, we'd probably have dispensed with gunpowder soon after we figured out magnetism too. Though strangely enough given the short range of their cannons and handguns that don't penetrate all the way through the body cavity they may be significantly weaker than chemical fire arms.

The thing is hideously powerful, capable of punching through an armory's thick walls, reducing the guy on the other side to Ludicrous Gibs, and then still having enough kinetic energy left to perforate the wall behind the gibbed guy.

It's also the only ship of its kind, by virtue of being a 70-year-old relic kept in service for political reasons. It's also the only weapon that is reliable at taking out the more advanced alien ships. The shots aren't very fast, since alien point defenses are usually capable of intercepting most of them, requiring the Ark to fire the rounds like shotgun shells (fortunately, even a single successful hit can cripple an alien ship). Since modern human ships are utterly incapable of going up against the aliens, the human space navies are working on developing old-style ships with mass drivers.

Magnetic Weapons / int_bd41836e	comment	According to the canon, Marines use Gauss rifles in StarCraft. This doesn't stop the muzzle flares and "budda budda" sound affect of them firing, though. In the sequel, Reapers use dual Gauss pistols and Jim Raynor goes for a ludicrously huge railgun with double laser sights (because one isn't cool enough). The Gauss rifle is canonically actually a hybrid weapon combining both primer and propellant as well as a coilgun system. This is borne out by the in-game cutscenes, which show the weapon using cartridge ammunition with primers. There's also a sharp whining noise that underscores the report, which also indicate that it probably isn't a conventional firearm either. A campaign-only upgrade for the Bunker in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty essentially installs a second coilgun-type mechanism that speeds up projectiles that pass through it, increasing effective range. It even increases the range of the Firebat's flamethrowers. This isn't even justified by the background; while the flamethrower-equipped ATV has an upgrade that adds thermite to its attacks, the flamethrower-equipped powered armor is explicitly stated to use pressurized gas as fuel. Another campaign only feature that uses this trope is a unit called the Diamondback. They are armed with twin railguns, and have the ability to shoot whilst moving. These units are unlocked for use in level "The Great Train Robbery", as you need their anti-armor railguns and unique Move-and-Shoot ability to chase down and loot a Dominion cargo train.

It's the most powerful gun in the game by a wide margin, firing a metal spike that will pierce whatever you point it at basically instantly, no leading the target required, and kill whatever was behind them until it hits a solid surface. Even the white-bodied enemies that would normally resist other weapons will be killed in a single hit. Unfortunately, enemies who spawn with it also have those advantages, and it fires nearly as fast in their hands. This comes with the drawback of having the longest reload time of any weapon, and the larger metal spike is more prone to getting caught on other objects if you don't have a clear shot.

In a later novel, a USNA cruiser even fires what amounts to a space shotgun, which gets off two fairly effective shots before the enemy Macross Missile Massacres it.

Magnetic Weapons / int_e235270c	comment	Various types of magnetic weapons form one of the three starship weapon families in Stellaris. The largest models are Fixed Forward-Facing Wave Motion Guns capable of one-shotting pirate cruisers from several AUs away. They excel at stripping shields but fall a few ticks short against heavily armored targets, so they perform best when paired with armor-melting Energy Weapons.

Magnetic Weapons / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS places railguns as superior to coilguns in terms of damage but they're otherwise the same. The defining characteristic of both is their armor piercing ability and high rate of fire. They also have variable power, you can overcharge them to punch through thick armor or undercharge them to save energy.

Magnetic Weapons / int_e5de447c	comment	X-COM: XCOM Terror From The Deep has Gauss weaponry, which based on the in-game description is a railgun mated to a particle accelerator. Specifically, it's a variation on the plasma-based weapons of the first game. Since plasma doesn't do so well underwater (and the amount of power requires Elerium-115, which goes inert in salt water), they repurposed the magnetic accelerators used to accelerate plasma to break down and accelerate a metallic slug into a particle beam instead. XCOM: Enemy Unknown, specifically its add-on Enemy Within, has a strange deviation in its weapon progression. All of XCOM's soldier classes wield laser weapons as their tier-2 armaments... except the MEC troopers, who get a freaking enormous railgun instead. It's never explained (or even mentioned) why they don't just get a giant beam cannon like their squishy comrades, and once plasma weaponry becomes available, MECs start using it along with all the others. The Tier 3 shotgun equivalent is also one of these, launching pieces of repurposed alien hull material using a magnetic field that's pretty similar to the one the alien plasma weapons use. Presumably this was considered less silly-sounding than a "plasma shotgun", which makes even less sense than its laser equivalent. In XCOM 2, ADVENT forces use these, and they also serve as the second weapon tier available to XCOMnote interestingly, while XCOM eventually switches to plasma beam technology for a firepower upgrade, ADVENT's Elite Mooks stay with magnetic hardware that gradually gets stronger. The research project for them is even outright named "Magnetic Weapons." The Long War 2 Game Mod also features coil weapons as an equivalent to stock magnetic weaponry, but with a small aim penalty, higher damage range and the innate ability to shred one point of armor. In XCOM: Chimera Squad, these are your starting weapons, and gain overall damage upgrades instead of plasma replacements. This is mostly to justify why you can use non-lethal ammo in S.W.A.T. situations constantly.note Plasma weapons that are compatible with 'rubber' rounds are rare items and must be confiscated from black market raids.

Magnetic Weapons / int_e66a25a9	comment	Rifts: Common as dirt in that setting, "railgun" is essentially a shorthand for "megadamage machinegun"... to the point that none of them are ever depicted as having actual rails, or even coils for that matter (though it could be argued that the almost always round barrels could have thin coils built into their length)... and often have ejection ports... and are insanely rapid-fire. The game's signature weapon is the Boom Gun, a massive single-shot railgun wielded by the Glitter Boy Powered Armor. It's so powerful that the Glitter Boy has to anchor itself to the ground before firing. Rifts also has wooden railgun ammo for use against vampires. Roll that one around in your head. They try to justify it with iron cores buried in the rounds, but while that might work for coil guns, a rail round has to be conductive edge-to-edge and fit the rails snugly. However, this can work (assuming the wood doesn't combust) provided that the core is shaped in such a way that it touches the rails — for example, if it has a cross-shaped cross-section. Phase World, and other space-heavy Megaverse worlds with Artificial Gravity technology, have gravity-based slugthrowers as an alternative to railguns. Magnetism is of course stronger than gravity according to physics, but the gravity guns can use any material as a projectile. Techno-wizards build railguns that use telekinesis magic to throw silent, invisible slugs of pure force.

Magnetic Weapons / int_e8091fc1	comment	In BattleTech, a Turn-Based Strategy game based closely on the tabletop version, Gauss Rifles serve as an extremely rare Infinity -1 Sword because in the pre-Clan Invasion era the game is set in, Gauss weapons of any kind are Lost Technology that nobody can build on their own. You only get a single gun in the entire campaign, mounted on an equally unique Royal-grade SLDF Highlander 'Mech, and if it is destroyed in battle (which will happen sooner or later), there's no way to replace it. On the upside, it retains all of its power, range, accuracy and headchopping capabilities from the tabletop, so with an appropriately skilled pilot at the helm, your Highlander has an 18% chance to One-Hit Kill any 'Mech from across the battlefield with a well-aimed Precision Shot to the cockpit.

A maximum of three magnets can be fired at any one time, and the magnets are recharged when previously fired magnets are destroyed. Light weight enemies covered in nails will find themselves pulled towards magnets. This can be especially useful when fighting Sentries, as they cannot fire on V1 if they're magnetized to the wall or ceiling. The rocket attraction feature, on the other hand, is especially useful when fighting Guttertanks, as their own rockets will turn against them when fired.

If you look closely, the muzzles have solenoidsThe technical term for an electromagnetic coil running their length. They have slightly more power per-shot, but fire in lesser bursts (their basic assault rifle shoots 4 times for 40 damage/bullet) than the basic AR (6 times for 30 damage per bullet), and have bonus Shred damage (directly damages armor; 15 to the basic and laser assault rifle's 1). The upgraded Piercing version simply ignores 20 points of armor.

Interestingly slug throwers aren't superior to standard assault rifles, gatling guns or machine guns in taking down a target.

Later, more powerful, projectile launchers are also able to do shield damage, but dedicated energy shells are better. The only weapon that is better at doing hull damage is the siege laser, but it requires your target to stay still and requires four ships to pump all their power into the weapon for long periods of time (while being immobile and defenseless).
