I love how the OP has no clue as to what a coil gun is. It is indeed a weapon. It fires projectiles said projectiles can pierce objects and do harm to living things including kill them.
It is called a gun for a reason. It just doesn't use gunpowder.

depends on the projectile and the velocity. Such devices are often used for very practical things like sorting coins or cleaning metal.
Virtual any device capable of imparting velocity to a projectile can be used as a "gun". That does not pollute the physics. Run stuff between a pair of rotating tires and you can achieve some great velocities.
My favorite is the old demonstration where you use a blow gun to shot a ball bearing at a falling can and never miss. Some pretty good physics in there if you work it out. And if you use a source of compressed air for the blow gun you could probably claim it would become a "gun".
And my favorite really is a gun. An air rifle that I use with very low pressure to bounce bbes off crows. They go away after getting hit three or four times. On a high pressure it would likely kill or maim. As used it just annoys.
Isn't Los Angeles USD the fine group of useful idiots that spent $578 million building a single high school?
Why, yes it is.
Aren't they the same group of out-of-touch morons that spent $1 billion -- yes, I said "billion" -- building THREE high schools since 2009?
Yet you people applaud companies spending 2 billion dollars to build an office complex that will only generate 30 jobs when there are dozens of unusued buildings nearby that could have been bought by said private company for 10 million dollars renovated for 2 million dollars and had over a 100 people working in the renovated office complex.
"Construction was stymied several times over the past 15 years by revelations that officials had approved building the school atop explosive pockets of methane gas and the discovery of an active earthquake fault beneath the site."
" a K-12 complex built on 23 acres of land, cost $578 million to build. Considering the school will house about 4,200 students, construction cost about $130,000 per pupil.
So, what exactly is included in that hefty price tag? An auditorium modeled after the famous Coconut Grove nightclub, a state-of-the-art swimming pool, and a marble memorial for Robert Kennedy, just to name a few of the school's upscale features."
Oh btw that school was only 40% per student cost then the other high schools in California. Building a high school just for a few hundred students typically costs about 70 million dollars.

And if you were to make such an air gun in a school class whether it be private or public the item would be seized and the teacher put on leave for allowing such a thing to be built. Unless it was approved by the school administrators and the parents signed permission slips.
Once again you have no clue as to why the teacher was put on leave. It's because of moron parents that let kids have guns and then the kids use the guns to shoot up the schools.

That entire school will be tagged up, ripped apart and ruined in short of 2 years..
Harrier thinks that you are all butt hurt that liberalism has been exposed once again for its complete dearth of common sense, and in this case harming the children who can no longer be educated by the suspended science teacher.

Do you want a lollipop to feel better?
One wonders at the wondrous ability of the Harrier to avoid the obvious. The position taken by the LA school board is clearly and beyond any doubt a conservative one.. An absurdly conservative one but still conservative. So Harrier has the impossible task of explaining how an absurdly conservative decision is in his mind a liberal one.
And only a conservative could believe it would be safe to build a high school on an active oil field. Only conservatives know that oil only does good things...
