The problem is not killing an enemy, it's hitting him

>Are magnets fucking magic?
No, just quantum mechanics. So basically yes its fucking magic

What's that about hitting or killing?

I'm interested in coil guns. I've been led to believe that even with an optimally timed series of coils, the acceleration drops exponentially with velocity, making it next to impossible to get fast enough to be effective.

Is there also an accuracy problem?

I don't think so.
I am no expert, but I don't think there is any reason to not just use regular rifles. They are cheaper and easier to handle, have a higher firerate and I assume are more reliable
