What would be a good name for a rifle that shoots lightning?
I’m writing something with a friend that involves a tesla gun that works like a Winchester 1887 where it charges up at every wiener of the lever.
What would be a good name for a rifle that shoots lightning?
A lightning gun
It would probably be a bolt action
Have your character hauling around the weird ass gun. When he gets questioned what it is, have him look at the asker as if he's a moron. Have him say it's a bolt action.

Depends on where it's made.
-If it's made in the U.S., it should be called the Franklin rod
-if it's made somewhere in Europe, it should be called the Tesla rail
-if Europe makes the Tesla rail first, the US should call their model the Edison hammer
Tesla was American.
>Born: July 10, 1856, Smiljan, Croatia
Yeah he became a citizen and did all his work in America. He would be of no special significance to Europeans.

it works but nobody has made it feasible yet. such a simple idea that even i came up with it and that's how i learned others came up with it
sounds like a german weapon, using literal kraut space magic. why not name it a sturmgewher. foreign names sound cooler.

Don't Captain Nemo's goons have guns exactly like that in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," OP?
No. Their rifles fired a physical projectile. Still used electricity. I'm vague on details because it's been 25 years since I read Jules Verne. But, IF I remember, I think their rifles used electricity to fire the projectile, and they also delivered a shock (somehow) through the projectile.
And, no, I'm not even gonna try to look that shit up right now. Probably a stupid simple search away, too.
Also, in The Mysterious Island, Nemo's electric rifles also made an appearance of some significance to the plot. Really stretching my memory here, but I think the rifles were able to operate under the sea as well as in open air.

Electricity always chooses a path of least resistance. Such weapon would be utterly useless as it can be countered with a simple metal rod.

Electron rifle?
Sounds pretty moronic. good luck with that.
