(Photo credit: Arcflash Labs)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Arcflash Labs released the following details of their EMG-02 coil gun:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Arcflash Labs, LLC, announces another milestone in the development of their handheld electromagnetic accelerators \u2013 an improved model with a more practical design, higher rate of fire and refined features, the EMG-02. The device is capable of delivering 266 Joules per second of energy on target (15 ft-lbs at 800 rds\/min), doubling the output power of their last product the GR-1 \u201cANVIL\u201d (100 Joules per second). This higher rate of fire allows for the EMG-02 to fill more practical applications in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n<p>The EMG-02 delivers similar muzzle energy to an air rifle, but with a much higher rate of fire. A high end pneumatic air rifle might be able to fire 20-50 shots before needing to re-pressurize. The EMG-02 can fire full auto, 18 rounds per magazine, and each battery stores enough charge for 300+ shots. No compressor required. The batteries can even be charged using inexpensive solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>The key advantage of a Gauss Rifle over a firearm or air rifle is its versatility and independence \u2013 you can fire any magnetic projectile&nbsp;that fits inside the barrel, even ammunition fashioned from ordinary steel bolts. Gauss Rifles eliminate the user\u2019s reliance on mass&nbsp;produced ammunition, expensive air compressors, or complex\/ dangerous reloading equipment. They also have very low recoil,&nbsp;allowing for high accuracy at short range (20-60 feet).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_282747\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-282747\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-282747 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arcflash-emg-02-1.jpg\" alt=\"Arcflash Labs EMG-02 coil gun laser\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arcflash-emg-02-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arcflash-emg-02-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arcflash-emg-02-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/arcflash-emg-02-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-282747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Arcflash Labs EMG-02 coil gun has a number of improvements on earlier generations.
