Your Definition
A handheld [electromagnetic] weapon that uses two parallel rails to accelerate a conductive projectile (often a small metal flechette) to hypersonic velocities. Rail pistols are the sidearm equivalent of railguns: compact, powerful, and with minimal recoil (the projectile's momentum is offset by [magnetic forces]). They offer greater velocity and armor penetration than conventional pistols, but they require enormous capacitor banks and produce a distinctive electrical crack and muzzle flash. In speculative military use, rail pistols are favored by officers and [special forces] who need to defeat body armor. Real‑world prototypes exist but are bulky; a truly compact rail pistol remains a goal of advanced weapons research.
