The nazi ww2 one is more similar to coil guns as the projectile is propelled by synchronized pulses. Rail gun is more similar to typical gun which has basically a single time pulse at the beginning (but magnetic field instead). There’s also light gas guns which have a gun power charge to move a plug that compressed a light gas like hydrogen Ina second chamber, which then bursts a membrane to then propel the projectile. Iirc sadam was doing light gas guns

I’ve used it to simulate things for mechanisms and motors etc for mechanical engineering

It’s grown one craft beer at a time
