👉 An induction weapon, often referred to as an inductive firearm, is a type of handheld weapon that utilizes electromagnetic induction to generate a high-velocity projectile. Unlike traditional firearms that rely on mechanical or chemical processes to ignite the propellant, induction weapons use an electromagnetic coil placed in close proximity to a battery or power source. When the weapon is fired, an electric current passes through the coil, creating a rapidly changing magnetic field that induces an electric current in a conductive projectile. This induced current heats the projectile to extremely high temperatures, causing it to expand and propel at supersonic speeds upon exiting the barrel. This method allows for faster, more efficient firing compared to conventional firearms, making induction weapons particularly effective in close-quarters combat situations.
