Arcflash is currently shipping out their first batch of commercial GR-1 &#8220;Anvil&#8221; shoulder-fired gauss rifles. They brought one down for me to try out, and I figured it would be best to start with some background discussion. So today, David and I are talking about how coil guns and rail guns work (and what the difference between the two is), how Arcflash came about developing the GR-1, where they expect the technology to go, and the applications for this and future mass accelerators.<\/p>\n<p>(For the record, I love being able to write a description like this and legitimately use terms like &#8220;rail gun&#8221; and &#8220;gauss rifle&#8221;&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>So, check it out! And stick around for a detailed look at the GR-1 Anvil on Friday, and the lunacy of me taking it to a Backup Gun Match on Saturday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
