Research is described that has centered around 1, 2, or 8 m long, 12.7 mm square-bore railguns powered by one or more of the following power supplies: a 1 MJ capacitor-bank-driven, pulse-forming network; a 6 MJ homopolar-generator (HPG)-charged coaxial inductor; or one or more of six 10 MJ Balcones-HPG-charged coaxial inductors. Several variations of the 1 and 2 m-long railguns were designed, fabricated, and tested. Railgun design parameters, development, and some test results are described. Parameters of primary importance in designs include sidewall insulator and rail materials; gun length and outer structure materials; stiffness and strength; ease of assembly and disassembly; and availability of methods for supporting, straightening, and honing the guns. Both static and dynamic aspects of railgun structural behavior are discussed
