I was wondering if I could make an electrostatic gun,
charge some metal object negative, in a similar negative charged tube
then use several flyback positive pulse generators
(just a transistor and step up coil) along the barrel to speed the bullet up.

Just looked at google, only found electrostatic spray guns so far..
Long ago I made a multi-coil electromagnetic gun, several coils and photocells for the timing.
