Lmao you left out the part where the copper part of the ammo ricochets and hits the camera man. Luckily the copper is only meant for the accelerations and isn't the real damaging part of the projectile, but definitely an aspect that needs to be fixed.

Highly curious what the effective range of the weapon is, I imagine its not very far. Still very cool and marked improvement over a lot of similar stuff weve seen in the past.

This is what happened to the camera man.

Source: I'm the camera man. My chin hurts still.

holy **** , did you survive that ? or are you pepsi ? also how much time do you think it will pass until rail gun is actually a reliable gun ?

Does this suffice?

Hey, if your buddy really built that on his own, I think contacting somebody like SmarterEveryDay would work out to be mutually beneficial to both of those guys' channels and toward explaining how it was built and how it works

Another hearty +1.

Pass along our congratulations to the engineer, and our best wishes for luck in this project - and stay safe.

Something else he may wish to review - I have a feeling this double-bowl shape may be useful in some regard:

Annoying music and slow pace aside, this guy's presentations are very clear & thorough, fully explained.

Did it really go through 3 inches of AR500 steel in the first experiment? I find it hard to believe.
#181 to #163 - bawesomfels (11/12/2015) [-]
3/8 inch, not 3 inch.

Oh. That's still like 0.308 cartridge power, isn't it?

Well I guess you can brag about being the first guy shot with a rail gun?

Props to you, man. I've seen the video. You didn't even make a noise when you got hit.

That's awesome, Do you know the guy who built the gun personally?
#128 to #127 - bawesomfels (11/12/2015) [-]
Yessir, I stood in his wedding.

I want one.

I will pay any amount of money for it. Just take everything I have. I'm fine with running around naked and homeless with a railgun.

Wish you both luck, hope he gets some attention for the cannon.
Maybe start a channel of shooting things with it. Not your chin though, probably a bad idea

I watched the whole video and that never happens
User avatar #82 to #27 - tombobbusama (11/12/2015) [-]
Wait you can actually SEE that bullet being shot?

There's a second video in the day time and the cameraman flips out at the end from being hit
User avatar #19 to #1 - grovesimus (11/11/2015) [-]
That tends to happen with any payload. I ricocheted a bb from the shed wall right in to my ear the other day, always test shoot with an angle.

I told you, Ralphie. You'll shoot an eye out.
