Rail Gunz

Main character Ash has two primary guns, a regular pistol (black metal plating) and a handgun form of a rail gun (white metal plating). Due to the power of rail guns and the heat expelled, they haven't really been invented in a handgun form. They are usually huge, powerful and inefficient. This changes in the future. Ash's rail gun is much less powerful than a full-sized one, but he doesn't have a need to shoot at supersonic speeds. At most he only ever has to use the rail gun once or twice in a mission, which is enough of a strain on the metal rails in the gun as is. I'll post drawings later. For now, some links that give a little information on rail guns, mostly so I can easily access them. My bookmarks are a mess.
