The ability to utilize magnetism to launch metal projectiles. Technique of Magnetism Manipulation. Variation of Projectile Attacks.
Contents
Also Called
- Railgun Effect
Capabilities
The user can use the pressure of magnetic fields to propel metal as projectiles.
Applications
- Attraction & Repulsion
- Bullet Projection
- If electromagnetism is used, the projectile may also be charged with electricity for an additional explosive impact.
Variations
- Using magnets as conductive rails or coils to accelerate the metal projectile via electric currents and magnetism, effectively creating a Rail-gun or Coil-gun, respectively.
- The rail-gun creates a very powerful bullet, as it generates high amounts of heat and tremendous velocity, which in turn can cause a very deadly impact.
- The coil-gun does not have as much firepower as the rail-gun, but does not require conductive rails, which would be less time-consuming in between shots, allowing rapid fire.
- Using the attraction of magnetism, attract one large bundle of scrap metal and slam it against one end of a connector, causing another bundle of scrap metal at the other end to fire off with tremendous velocity and force by using constraint to create acceleration between two objects, creating a Gauss Cannon.
Associations
- Bullet Projection
- Electricity Manipulation
- Electromagnetism Manipulation
- Gravity Projectile
- Magnetic Weaponry
- Magnetism Manipulation
- Projectile Attacks
- Projectile Enhancement
Limitations
- Ammunition available is a very important factor to the technique.
- At incredible heat, magnetism will be destroyed.
- Large energy consumption may be required for firing.
- Speed of projectile causes friction and heat, may cause projectile to melt.
- Magnetism Negation

Train Heartnet (Black Cat) uses the nano-machines in his body to generate static electricity for a very powerful Railgun shot, capable of piercing through and shatter many defenses.
Toki (Code:Breaker) using the law of least constraint fires his signature technique, the Gauss Cannon, a magnetically propelled scrap metal missile of immense destructive capabilities.
The Third Kazekage (Naruto) uses Magnet Release chakra to magnetically launching the Iron Sand Drizzle, a barrage of hardened grains, with a shotgun-effect.
Misaka Worst (Toaru Majutsu no Index) uses her Railgun to fire a magnetic rifle steel nails infused with electricity capable enough to pierce Accelerator arm.
