This web page is to illustrate the working of the DragonRail. This was a project that was inspired after the Railgun from the Quake series of games by ID software, this puppy is made of wood, plastic, a cardboard tube and a bunch of home-brew internal electronics. Following my design, the total build from concept to finalization took about 6 months.

The framework and housing were build by my design with the aide of my buddy Rob Good at Black Hills Cabinet and Fixure.

In the following, I will describe some general principles of the railguns' construction both inside and out.

Features of the DragonRail are as follows...

• User controllable visual effects

• Rubber hand grips

• Laser pointer arperature

• Built-in display stand

• Vibration feedback

• Audio rail-hum and shooting sound effects

• Stock mounted & external slung power cells

• Length, height and width: 32.5" x 8.5" x 7.5" (82.6cm x 21.6cm x 19.1cm)

• Railgun weight w/ stock power cell: apprpx. 10 lbs. (4.5 kg)

• External power supply: 3 lbs. (1.36 kg)
