Electromagnetic coils
The coils serve to pull the object (>>>) "forward" out the end. The
object must be made, at least in part, of a ferrous material. Mind you,
this can be as little as a steel "sheath" that discards after leaving the
barrel (DS round - leave the final coil "on" for longer than is neccesary).
