Oh wait this is that Jake Hanrahan dipshit who collaborated with sex pest Andrew Callaghan to try to promote anarchist militias in Ukraine fighting alongside Azov, fuck this guy. Don't post him. Find another source next time.
Incidentally also a tight collaborator with Robert FedvaNSA
And he made that pisspoor Q-anon anonymous podcast. Used to like him until I started reading books.

Uh what? I am fairly certain he has never had any connection to that podcast and QAA rules.
Edit: Looking it up he was apparently one of their first guests for its 8th episode long before any of the allegations came out and has since made his own (probably shitty imitation) Q focused podcast.
I was mixing up the names. He made a podcast about Q-anon, I think it is this one
It was basically ripping off the investigative work of a bunch of other people and passing it off as his own work.
Had they not made it look like a gun no one would have known what it was.
Top tier post
the first military use of a small-arms railgun will be made of duct tape and PVC and will be used to kill Shigeru Ishiba a decade after he retires
"In Japan they have a gun that kills the memory of a man." -some tweet I saw when Abe was killed.
(two years from now) "Zero-point energy field manipulator" seized in Japan
It's made with duct tape
Have etymologists ever conclusively settled on whether the term "duct tape" or "duck tape" came first?
I never thought about it, so you just made me look into it. It's pretty neat!
From the wikipedia article about duct tape
We then go to the article about cotton duck
Neat!
Yes. Duck tape came first. The original iteration of the product was cotton duck cloth with an adhesive backing.
That's what I figured, but I remember hearing something about some people objecting to this and insisting that "duct tape" came first after all.
Incidentally, "duck" in this case is cognate with, among other things, Norwegian duk meaning "tablecloth" among other things.
I think it's originally from the Dutch doek for canvas in English
Yup
random thought inspired by this exchange – I don't think I've ever told you that you're one of my favorite posters; every time I see your avatar and username, I know I'm gonna learn something interesting ❤️ you and ReadFanon are absolutely brimming with fascinating knowledge, and it is such a delight every time I come across some!
thank you for sharing your brilliance with us. 
Ohhhhh I hate this.
Unlimited doohickeys on the LDP 
The person who tweeted this, Jake Hanrahan, isn't someone I trust and I'd encourage other people to be cautious about him and his work. He's too cosy with the agents of imperialism, he doesn't strike me as a person who is anything more than aligned with the left (mostly) due to opportunism, and personally I'm kinda waiting on his Tim Pool arc.
I don't understand what this has to do with trust. This is just a regular news story whose existence is easy to independently confirm. Here is a link to the actual story on NHK.
I'm talking about trusting him and his work, not the tweet.
This is a toy right? These models can only hit like pellet gun velocities yeah?
Yeah that coil is way too short to impart any serious amount of acceleration.
No idea on that one, but you can definitely engineer railguns with off the shelf parts that can be put out similar energy to .22lr I think.
Saw a video recently of someone creating a homemade railguns that could, if set up properly, exceed the Irish govt's firearms limitations.
Hell, just searching YouTube I saw a bunch claiming "1.5KJ" which (depending on efficiency and projectile ballistics) could impact similar energy onto a target as a 9mm handgun, if my duck duck go-ing serves me right.
I can put out the same energy as .22 with my mind alone but that's cool.
Oh damn that is wild
Are those fucking screwdriver heads? LOL
Do look like Phillips bits
I too, have seen Phillip's bits
Japanese guns are crazy I love them
pouring one out for a hero that could have been
Death to America
completely silent too
Probably not if the bullet is fast enough, right? Air rushing into barrel, or bullet breaking the sound barrier
A coilgun that size isn't going to be making anything supersonic. I would be genuinely surprised if it even matched the force of something like an airsoft gun.
Honestly this thing looks like a hobbyist toy more than a weapon. Like it might pose a risk of eye injury if fired towards someone, but I wouldn't expect it to even break skin at close range. Unless it's got some absurdly strong capacitor bank powering it and is very well designed it's just not going to put out much force at all. At that scale a railgun might honestly be a better bet for "an at least somewhat dangerous handheld electric projectile launcher", because the problems with those (the surface of the rails oxidizing after a shot or two, so they stop making a good connection with the round and can't fire) only start cropping up when you get to really high velocities and higher power flow.
