Mechanics and Play

The Coilgun has only 2 ammo types: tungsten, and ferrouranium. When fired, the balls have a yellow tracer, allowing the user to see where the bullet travelled (considering it reaches its target near instantaneously), which is helpful for long-range firing.

It will pierce any block in its path, breaking them if their hardness is below a certain threshold... the bullets phase through and keep destroying other blocks.

Ammo

Tungsten

Tungsten balls can destroy any block with a hardness less than 1.25.

Ferrouranium

Ferrouranium balls are just like tungsten balls in every way, except they have a higher hardness threshold, capable of destroying blocks with a hardness value less than 2.5. Even though this is double the threshold of tungsten balls, it still can't destroy most ores, concrete, or machines.
