The Future of Firearm Technology!!! 

The future is NOW old man!

For those who are wondering, a Railgun uses 2 rails that are both differently charged to propel a chunk of metal down range, while a coil gun uses copper coils wrapped around a barrel. Both use electricity, just slightly different in operation.

Watching you two miss them watermelons over and over helped me better understand why stormtroopers could never hit Skywalker.

"Put a thumb in that!" That legit had me crying PS, absolutely love when Scott is on the channel together. Yall seem to just have so much fun together and it shows on the video. I've said it before and I'll say it again, yall look like two young boys screwing around with your toys. Cheers!

“Put a thumb in that” Brutal Matt… 😂

The coil guns sound louder in the video because you're using compression filters on the audio data. Compression causes all the sounds present to appear within the same volume range when replayed, loud sounds are reduced and soft sounds are amplified. I'm a bass player so I have to use compression while recording, mixing, playing live etc. (This is very very simplified, compression can effect audio in a huge range of ways)

Forgotten Weapons has covered the EMG-01 and the newest model of the EMG-02. Very cool the innovations that are happening. Finally all those times you “reloaded” a battery power drill will pay off.

the fact that Kentucky Ballistics and DemolitionRanch make funny intros is GOLDEN

I feel this line of firearms has potential. It may be big while not as strong as a normal bullet, but then again, computers used to be the size of buildings

These are going to be so sick 10 years from now

With -e triggers, the rate of fire can be synced with the discharge of every cartridge loaded but with the trigger pull itself a minute one gram, requiring the trigger a rebound of -l gram before the next pull of the trigger.

You know I was actually talking to a guy who was working on a prototype for something like those. End up having a 500 grain caseless standard looking bullet. But everything based on his specs since he couldn't get it any more powerful based on size capacity for batteries. I told him to lower the weight of that bullet drastically. He's only getting 350 ft per second which is about the speed of an arrow.

Kentucky Ballistics bent the trigger on the new coil gun. Effectively turning a semi auto into burst possibly full auto. The AFT is on their way because "bump stocks."

Scotts voice changed so quickly from having fun to concerned when he shot it the air. Guys been around a lot of guns I'm 100% sure he knows trigger safety. Braking the trigger, now we know how he survived the slap round with them big strong fingers

Reminds me of the Gauss rifle from Fallout

The disadvantage with coil guns is that you have to manage ammo and propellant (the battery) as two independent things, while in current ballistic guns the cartridge contains both projectile and propellant.

I'm sure it's been said already, but I would like to see what these would do on a ballistics dummy.

“EEE-leck-trisss-iteee!” Always love a Scott crossover!!!

"That kind of alarmed me" man Scott is absolutely the funniest gun guy on YT no question about it. So happy he made it out of that horrible accident and keepin on strong. My fav channel for sure

It’s fine to watch you after a long time . Thanks Keep making more videos

Joking aside, there's a great real example of perfect gun control/safety discipline here. Firstly, he didn't have his finger on the trigger but secondly, he still had the weapon pointed in a safe resting position. Yes it was funny but with less thought on safety then someone could have caught one in the face!

The best thing about this is that it's just fun. Just two friends having a blast. That's a good feeling.

calling Scott "muscle man" effed me up so hard i can't stop laughing. never a dull moment at demo ranch

i love when you guys get together! so much fun!

So fun fact, coil guns dont just turn on and projectile comes out, the coils also have to turn off when the projectile pass. It it does not then the projectile would slow down and eventually just get stuck in the barrel because of the magnets.

Mass Effect rifles are closer than ever to becoming a reality

“Put a thumb in that!” lol that got me! I love seeing you 2 together in videos.. 2 of my favorite shooting RU-vidrs! Keep them coming guys!!

You both rock. Love your videos brothers

I'm surprised how underpowered these are. Based on the size of those capacitors I was expecting more of a burst-into-flames-velocity kind of projectile speed.

The two best people to "demonstrate" the possible future of fire arms. But most definitely the best two to have fun doing it.

0:46 perfectly cut Kentucky scream! Letfkngooooo!! 3:58 now he's Rambo! 11:57 IT'S THE MOMENT WE ALL WERE WAITING FOR! _TWO HILLBILLIES GETTING IN THERE & KILLING THE ZIMPOSTER!!!!!!!_

One thing I can say for sure is you guys have way to much fun! I would love a day at the range with you guys!!

100 Years Later: Historians: Find the evidence people!!! Find!!! There must have been a great war that occured here, look at how many bullets are here.

Man. These have advanced so much in the last 10 years. I remember watching footage of people using these to launch nails, and struggling to get them to stick in cardboard. Very impressed.

I like how in the cinematic scene they filmed, the small guns, like all the rounds just bounce off his chest and do little to no damage at all

i love that you can hear the whistle of the rounds going by on the slomo

The "hollowpoints" whistling in the air was so cool.

I love how these two came from friendly rivalry to solid friendship

i really love your videos keep going

Rifling would have to be on the actual projectiles rather then the barrel. There shouldn't be any direct contact between the projectile and the barrel ideally, but texture could be added to create a sort of fin on each round to produce rotation to stabalize the shot.

0:45 "put a thumb in that!" I fucking died holy shit that is in the running for best jokes ever made on this channel

I've been really interested in these ever since Ian talked about them on ForgottenWeapons a while back. ArcFlash has made great progress in coil/Gauss 'rifles'.

I mean these guys are super weird, but they always get a smile out of me, my two favorite gun channels.❤❤

I love you boys brother. Keep it up

And the nicest thing for range use is the fact that you can get one of those wheeled magnet pickers and recover a large amount of the spent rounds quickly.

“My finger wasn’t on the trigger.” That’s what Alec said

The ending was sick

Magnetic sabot could be used to push different rounds that are more aerodynamic. The disks are cool but I guess the lack of spin is what makes them so unstable

Since you are trying alternative weaponry you should try Joerg Sprave's (slingshot channel) repeating crossbow's/bow's next.

Wonder how viable it would be to put the capacitors/batteries in a backpack and have an umbilical with thick wires carrying the charge to the coils. You could put shielding on a quick release backpack in case anything goes wrong with the capacitors/batteries, make the capacitors/batteries larger and make the handheld portion much lighter.

That's a nice beat to chill to 4:06

It's fun watching something being developed. I imagine in 50 years, these will be king

These are "just" cool now, but I could imagine being a lot more useful in the future, especially for specific applications. Great vid guy!

I’m really looking forward to how powerful these could become as the technology continues to get better. They shoot with about the same power as a Gamo .22 air rifle, which while not bad, is far from their potential

one thing that you could try is holding an AM radio near the side of the coil gun, when it fires you will hear the Electro Magnetic or Radio Magnetic Pulses from the coils!

At around 11:01, you said you're not sure how they could rifle a coilgun and I have an idea for that: make a combination coilgun & railgun, with the rails made of a non-magnetic metal and twisted around in a helix shape -- keeping the wires apart with equal spacing, and still having high voltage DC running through them to accelerate the projectile in addition to the magnetic acceleration from the coils.

Scott might be one of the first dudes to fire two coil guns at the same time.

This is like having a tiny Randy Johnson in a barrel chucking pieces of steel at things. Pretty darn cool, can't wait til Scott blows them up.

Forgotten Weapons just put out a video on Arcflash labs latest model the GR 2. New configuration power source is a drill battery. It has a much larger single capacitor that's been moved to the rear. All in all a better design

you need a spin fire rail riffle or a rail gun that spins up the projectile as it enters the rail accelerator track. ie a spin launch rail gun

Man that's gonna be scary when these things take over conventional firearms, especially with how fucking quiet they are. Eventually there's gonna be ones that are strong enough to punch holes through people but quieter then a silenced .22

these need to be added as another caliber for pen testing. They're just so cool

YES!!! THESE CROSSOVERS ARE AMAZING!!!

0:37 Technically, if you look at the chemistry of gunpowder, it "runs" on electricity too, as it relies on the movement of electrons between atoms.

3:09 Scott has the greatest trigger discipline I've even seen. In some of his videos I've seen him kind of flinch after shooting something up close that violently exploded and every time he takes his finger out of the trigger-well before re-directing his firearm. He's top level on safety. Lol, or as least until he decides to slap something. Glad your still with us buddy. My guess is the last two times Scott pulled the trigger were delayed by the electricity recharging. Lol nevermind Scott must of ate his Wheaties.

Dude…I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone have “too much fun” until I watched this video. Great stuff here fellas.

Those hollows make a neat little whistling noise when they fly. Nice distinctions

Very cool thanks

i'd like to see what these at full charge would do to a block of ballistics gel. especially with the larger projectiles.

Woman: "show me what those fingers can do..." Scott: *bent the trigger*

The slow mo when you dual wielded at the balloons straight up sounds like a lofi drum beat

The concern about rifling is important. I happen to know someone who is doing their masters thesis as well as big money labs and materials on larger cannons setup in a helix pattern to cause the objects to spin.

Crazy how fast these coil guns are advancing, this was pretty dang cool!

I wonder why no one has tried using high voltage pulse capacitors with lower resistance coils made from thicker wire. Pulse caps can easily hold 15 to 30 kilovolts each, but generally tend to have a much lower capacitance than electrolytic capacitors of the same size. The biggest issues would be the electronic switching of the high voltages and amperages that pulse capacitors are capable of. There's a low tech mechanical switching solution that might give you a few shots before the contacts are vaporized, but the switch contacts would have to be very far apart to prevent arcing due to the high voltages involved. Maybe the arcing itself could be used as part of the switching solution. Back when I was experimenting with coilguns I first tried using regular switches, but quickly found out that wasn't going to work, because the coilgun would fire during charging after the capacitor bank reached a certain voltage. An arc would jump across the momentary button switch I tried using initially and it would fire the projectile without ever being able to charge the 3,300 Volt capacitor bank to full capacity. My test models were more miniature to save cost and I used ten 330 Volt 170 microfarads electrolytic disposable camera flash capacitors connected in series. I used white Bic pens as the tube and either pieces of solid steel rod, or slingshot ball bearing ammo that happened to fit nearly perfectly into the pen tube. I have long wanted to do tests with the aforementioned pulse capacitors and lower resistance, thicker coils, but life kind of happened and I never got around to it. I hope maybe some of the information here will give someone else some ideas to try. I would really appreciate it that if you do try some of these ideas, that you let me know how well, if at all, it works. ;-)

Funny vid Railguns are the goat of underwhelming awesome looking tech

you guys have way too much fun for two guys , let me in on that action!!

Kinda wanna see what these would do to ballistic gel. And in terms of flight stability I feel like if you could find a way to put fins on them it could work.

Major props to Matt for taking a ricochet to the arm mid-scene and just rolling with it

Fun fact: railguns and coilguns are *not* firearms! They contain no explosive anywhere in the assembly or cartridge. (Apart from the electric components, but those aren’t actually supposed to explode)

Great trigger control!

They need to make pellet shaped steel rounds. The Diablo shape of a pellet is self stabilizing and would make it way more accurate

"Put a thumb in that!" Has to be the greatest one-liner I've heard

You guys are so funny to watch and you're also fun to watch as well.😊😊😊

Looks super cool

3:02 Muzzle discipline coming in clutch

The slow mo getting hit in the arm and dropping elbows on the dummies, too funny 😂

Incredible Range

Kentucky Demolition is the best combination

You guys are so awsome!!! I was dealing with a bad cancer scare with my momma, and I got stuck in shock mode ,but yall helped bring out the warriors! She gonna blow those stupid cells outta the water just like you destroy our favorite targets!!! Keep it up!! You may never realize how much yall help with every day issues!!!!!!

I love how the "hallow point rounds" make a whistle through the air that can only be heard in slow mo

The perfect weapon for Home Defense! Nobody takes you seriely, so no counter fire, and enough force for a laser guided headshot. Every wall will block the shot so your family in the bath are safe!

MetalStorm. The 1,000,000 round firing system. Invented about 20 years ago right here in Australia (and you say we don't have guns 😅) Electronic bullets.. Insane stuff

Imagine using this for home defense…robber comes in… “hold on a minute let me haul this up. Wait let it charge…… ok. LETS GO!!!”

I feel like you could make fletchette sabot ammo for these, would probably increase accuracy

I don't know about replacing gunpowder, but this beats the heck out of shooting those projectiles from a slingshot. When it can shame a crossbow I would start getting interested.

The sound when it turns on is the fans and electro magnets passing current between them

fun fact: coil guns use coils while railguns use rails while coilguns can fire quicky without much issue, current railguns cannot fire more than a few dozen of times before damaging the barrel to the point of being unable to be used again coilguns need to kind of know when to activate each coil to have an optimal acceleration while railguns would simply weld the bullet into the barrel if it doesn't have a starting impulse so, yeah, I am yet to see a naval sized coilgun, but I have also yet to see a rifle sized railgun

Here we saw two retired veterans, just having fun and games with their tactics. Friendship.

Dude my favorite two together, it makes me happy! (Lightly sobbs)

Awesome part two
