My airgun shoots .22 pellets at 1200fps. and the pellets are readily available. Five hundred rounds for $9 at WalMart.

Go to a car audio store, get a bank of Subwoofer caps and blow holes in schools.

wile interesting, it seems like a silly endeavor when one can buy a really good air gun (1200fps/.177) for under $200 and have nearly unlimited shooting.

A tiny tungsten pellet, small bit of water, high energy electrical discharge to push the round and overcome the initial inertia. From there, use laser to time the discharge of the coils.
