Railgun (Immersive Engineering)

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

The Railgun isn't loaded; it will automatically grab ammunition from items in the inventory.

Holding right-click 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 cost 800 Redstone Flux.
