I got four for free, and I just asked to use them for a "science project." Instead of paying for cameras, try asking for any cameras that have already been used at a place that develops the film.

When the switch is turned on the current flows from the capacitor bank into the coil. About the coil, if the coil was very far away from the projectile it would not have as much force on the projectile. Since the coil is only active for a very small fraction of a second the coil needs to be close but not too close. The coil on my gun can slide on the barrel so you can find the perfect location for each type of projectile. This location is crucial, and can be the difference between shooting through a can, and not leaving the barrel. Yo Aaron,
