Railgun (Immersive Engineering)

The Railgun is a ranged weapon added by Immersive Engineering. It shoots various items as ammunition.

The Railgun does not need to be loaded; it will automatically grab ammunition from items in the inventory.

A Charging Station is required to keep the Railgun functional. While in the player's inventory, the player can view the Railgun's charge level.

Holding down the right-mouse button with the Railgun in hand will "charge" it (not to be confused with Redstone Flux (RF) charging). Once the charge level (the number on the Railgun in-game) is at 99, it can be released. Each use of the Railgun costs 800 RF, though this can be changed in the config file.

It should be noted that users have reported that firing the Railgun has caused some users to experience game client crashes for themselves and others within 30 blocks of the firing player in multiplayer.

Ammunition
Items, usually rods and bars, are used as ammunition for the Railgun. Rods can not be picked up after being shot. They will disappear after awhile.

Upgrades
The Railgun can be upgraded through an Engineer's Workbench. Two slots are available for upgrades, as well as an additional slot for Shaders.
