This lecture by retired RA gun engineer Derek Putley details the principles, history, and experimental work on electromagnetic railguns in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s. It covers the development of REM Gun 3 and the Hypervelocity Test Facility (HTF) railgun, discussing challenges in power supply, armature design, and achieving high velocities. The talk also touches upon the historical context and potential future applications of railgun technology.

This entry details the real-world Arcflash Labs Gauss Rifle, drawing parallels to its depiction in the Fallout series. It breaks down the electromagnetic coil mechanism, capacitor discharge, and optical gate timing. Performance metrics for the current prototype and future versions are provided, alongside a comparison to railgun technology. The information is presented with high authority, featuring insights from a primary developer and a recognized firearms media channel.
