1. Introduction 

 

The Arcflash Labs EMG-01A (Electro-Magnetic Gun – 01 Alpha) is an 8 stage, IGBT switched, low 

voltage capacitor augmented fully automatic coilgun.    

 
It features 8 IGBT stages, each with an independent infrared optical gate.  The fire control and 

sequencing of the coils is aided by microcontroller which provides nanosecond-precise timing signals to 
the IGBT gates and allows for firing up to 4 rounds per second at >45m/s.   

 
The EMG-01A is configured to ONLY fire 0.25x0.75” steel projectiles (dowel pins).  Arcflash Labs 

recommends the use of 2575 Magnetic Armatures (sold separately) but any 0.25x0.75” steel dowel pin 
should work.   

 
The EMG-01A is shipped standard with a 6 round coil spring magazine which can hold up to 9 

rounds single stacked, and fire up to 6 rounds on full-auto.  The gun is also shipped standard with a 
1500mAh 6S Lithium Polymer battery (charger sold separately) which can provide power for over 100 
shots before needing to recharge.   

 
As an alpha tester of the EMG-01, you are privileged to join an exclusive community of 

electromagnetic gun developers and enthusiasts around the globe.  Until now, only a handful of 
individuals have ever seen an electromagnetic gun, let alone fired one.  Congratulations on being 
selected to own a piece of history.
