Heavy · Slugs
An electromagnetic-coil rifle firing hypersonic tungsten slugs — the next-gen exclusive heavy weapon. Earned by completing the Special Vehicle Cargo missions on PS4/Xbox One/PC.
The Coil Railgun is an experimental weapon featured in the Enhanced Version of Grand Theft Auto V, and during certain missions in Grand Theft Auto Online. It was made available for purchase in Grand Theft Auto Online during the Gun Van Week, as part of the continuation of the Los Santos Drug Wars update.
A railgun is a weapon that fires inert metallic rounds at velocities higher than the speed of sound using an electromagnetic effect. As such, it has incredible range and accuracy in addition to massive kinetic energy. However, at the time the weapon was introduced, railguns are still considered to be prototype phase and due to a myriad of issues, such as power generation and heat dissipation are limited in size and portability to fixed (usually naval) mountings. Portable railguns do not exist outside of theoretical models.
