The state weapon manufacturer, China South Industries Group (CSGC), has released footage of its electromagnetic coil pistol. Allegedly capable of shooting 3,000 rounds per minute, the prototype is a large technical leap in portable director-energy weapons.
By improved, the new weapon could play a key role in military and law enforcement programs. The rhythmic gun is a linear motor that uses electromagnets to speed up the projectile to high speed.
Basically, it is a species of mass drivers when the projectile is launched by magnetic forces, not traditional sources or explosives of weapons. According to reports, lithium -ion batteries are used in the new Chinese weapon, not conventional capacitors to feed electromagnetic rolls.
This weapon makes his debut just a few years after 2023. Another Chinese coil pistol, CS/LW21, was unveiled. Another handheld electromagnetic coil pistol CS/LW21 developed the China North Industries Group (Northeric) riot control and non -fatal use. This weapon uses a nine -tier coil mass, which is powered by an internal lithium -ion battery to shoot coin -shaped projectiles without traditional weapons.
Significantly surpasses AK-47
However, a reel pistol created by the latest PLA Army Engineering University is an unprecedented capacitance design that allows long-term rapid fire-historical restriction of coil weapons. As a report South China Morning PostThe new weapon contains a twenty -1 -inch (20 mm) length of consistent copper coil Bullpup (similar appearance as Belgium P90).
When these rolls are accelerated by steel projectile or reinforcement using carefully determined magnetic pulses, the switching of semiconductors accurately controls the supply of energy to nanosekund. Then optimize the magnetic acceleration window to reduce energy waste and reverse stretching.

Other main features of the pistol are special safety safeguards to prevent battery overload over 750A current spikes, finite elements modeling, optimizing the coil to milliseconds, and heat dispersion engineering, limiting the rise in battery temperature.
During the test, the weapon was reportedly fired up to 3,000 rounds per minute (APS / min), significantly surpassing traditional firearms. These are significantly higher than conventional firearms such as AK-47, which shoot about 600 rpm. It is also useful for quiet shooting, without muzzle flashes and regulated mortality.
From the control of the crowd to militarization
Currently, the test model monitors approximately 282 feet/s (86 m/s) projectile speed, which is fast but modest compared to conventional firearms. Although it will be sufficient for immortal roles such as riot control.
“The constant rapid fire discourages impending threats and overwhelm the enemy’s reactions, which are ideal for riot control,” noted the research team led by professor Xiang Hongjun of the Army Engineering University. “Other advantages are the flashes of the muzzle, the quiet operation and the regulated mortality, making it ideal for” secret missions, “they added.
Due to the scale and the improved battery power, the team is convinced that the pistol can move to the deadly roles of the battlefield (eg drones, automatic towers or infantry weapons).
Mature and militarized, China could encourage the race to deploy a new generation of rifle weapons that use electromagnetic driving force instead of chemical reactions. Although there is no killer ready for the battlefield, he mentions the future where quiet, especially fast electromagnetic projectiles could replace bullets.
