This video from Forgotten Weapons showcases ArcFlash Labs' GR-1 Anvil, a portable, shoulder-fired gauss rifle. It explains the coil gun's functionality, detailing the electromagnetic acceleration of a ferrous projectile using 8 coils and high-voltage capacitors. The description highlights the novel battery technology that rapidly charges these capacitors. The GR-1 is presented as a prototype and technology demonstrator, akin to the Wright Flyer, with potential for future advancements in coil gun technology. Legal aspects are discussed, noting that coil guns are not federally regulated as firearms and are treated as airguns due to muzzle energy restrictions.
