2.1 Barrel

- Lethal shock hazard: The SGP-34 operates at 450 Volts and 1000 Amps. Never touch any

components inside the ventilation holes. Never disassemble the unit. Never touch metal

components while the unit is powered on, or within 10s of being switched off.

- Muzzle energy is sufficient to break bones, cause serious injury or even death. It goes

without saying: never point the gun at anyone or anything you do not intend to destroy.

- Never fire projectiles longer than 0.75" – firing projectiles other than Arcflash 2575

Mangetic Armatures or 0.25x0.75" steel dowel pins could result in fire or explosion.

The SGP-34 is a single shot handheld gauss pistol – its core component is a high voltage

switch called a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) which quickly discharges all the stored energy in

the capacitor into the drive coil, creating a large magnetic field. The field is designed to expand

as the projectile moves towards the center of the drive coil and contract a precise amount of

time after. The expansion and contraction of this magnetic field is precisely timed to accelerate

the 2575 armature. Projectiles longer or shorter than the standard may not fire at all or may

fire less effectively. The nominal exit velocity is between 22-32 m/s for the 2575 armature.

While its muzzle energy is comparable to most bb-guns (around 1.6 joules or 1.2 ft/lbs),

it should be treated the same way as a firearm: with the utmost respect. While the muzzle

energy is roughly the same as a bb-gun, the projectile mass is far higher. Hazards from

accidental discharge include broken bones and severe injuries – in short, never point the device

at anything you don't want to destroy. Treat it as loaded at all times.

Some versions of the SGP-34 ship standard with an aluminum barrel and some ship

standard with a brown Garolite (polymer composite) barrel. Do not be alarmed if your barrel

appears different from the picture. All coilguns are tested and verified before shipment to

ensure they meet specs.

The drive coil of the SGP-34 may appear larger or smaller than the picture. Despite its

small size, it is mathematically optimized to deliver the most energy from the capacitor into the

projectile. Do not be concerned if the coil you receive appears smaller than the pictured

version, as the physical size of the coil is in no way correlated with the muzzle energy.

The device is powered by a low voltage (16V) battery, but this low voltage is internally

stepped up to 450V and stored in the capacitor. The SCR is capable of delivering this energy to

the coil at over 1000A. Never touch any metal parts of the gun while it is powered or shortly

after it is shut down as it takes approximately 10 seconds for the gun to fully power down, even

after the green power light has extinguished.
