Handheld railgun that is as powerful as an air rifle and uses electromagnets to fire ammo at 200ft per second is set to go on sale in the US
2021-08-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Arcflash Labs is accepting preorders for the GR-1 Anvil, available for $3,375

  • The weapon uses electricity, rather than gunpowder, to propel ammunition

  • It can fire 20 rounds per minute at full power, or 100 rounds at half power

  • Though billed as 'the most powerful handheld coilgun ever,' the Anvil's impact is less lethal than traditional firearms
