"The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is very simple to use, with only three options: the main power switch, followed by the gear selection and firing mode selection.

There are three gear settings: high, medium, and low. The firing modes include single shot, double shot, quad shot, and infinite ammo mode, totaling 4 modes.

The current mode is single shot, to help you get a feel for it.

As for the coin bullets, there are three types of magazines, each using an ultra-wide special 4-groove magazine.

The bullet capacities are 300, 500, and 900 rounds. The total weight of the bullets are: 300 rounds → 1.2 kg, 500 rounds → 2.1 kg, 800 rounds → 3.8 kg.

The coin size is the same as the fourth set of one-yuan coins, with a diameter of 25mm, but the thickness is different at only 1.3mm, which is 1/3 thinner than a one-yuan coin.

It's worth noting that although the coin thickness is 1.3mm, you can actually temporarily use the fourth set of one-yuan coins with a thickness not exceeding 2mm.

Additionally, to save costs, we use ordinary round iron coins with no printing and rounded edges. This lowers the cost further, allowing you to get 6 shots for one yuan, and the trajectory is more stable, preventing misses.

Finally, the magazine we are currently using is the medium-sized one that holds 500 coin bullets."

After introducing the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, Lin Feng took a step back and then signaled Qu Qiongying to start firing.

Qu Qiongying nervously aimed the laser at the beer bottle and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

A dark projectile shot out, and the beer bottle in the distance shattered upon impact. The force was so great that as the bottle broke, it also smashed the bottles next to it.

Seeing this, Qu Qiongying aimed at the last bottle and pulled the trigger in her hand.

"Whoosh!

"Crackling!"

The last bottle shattered.

But at this moment, Qu Qiongying seemed to still want more. Following Lin Feng's earlier explanation, she quickly switched to the two-shot burst mode and continued to hit the remaining half of the beer bottles still on the table.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

"Crackling!"

The remaining half of the bottle was completely shattered. This naturally drew cheers from the live stream audience, though it was unclear if they were cheering for the beautiful woman or the electromagnetic rifle.

At this point, two employees walked up, each carrying several aluminum cans of Coca-Cola. They arranged them neatly and then gave an OK sign.

"Continue."

Lin Feng didn't try to take over from Qu Qiongying, as he could tell she was quite fond of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle toy.

Besides, a beautiful woman using the electromagnetic rifle was more appealing to the audience than a man using it, so he didn't compete with her.

Qu Qiongying hesitated slightly but did not refuse. She then proceeded to shoot at the Coca-Cola aluminum cans.

The result was as expected: the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle easily blew up the Coca-Cola aluminum cans from 15 meters away.

After this, they tested its power against construction red bricks and 3mm thin wooden boards.

The red bricks, of course, couldn't be blown up, but a visible dent was successfully made on them.

The 3mm thin wooden board fared even worse, being directly penetrated. Then, they moved on to the final test: the car door test.

Returning to the camera, Lin Feng addressed the hundreds of thousands of excited viewers in the live stream:

"We often see in movies that gunmen shoot at the protagonists or supporting characters inside a car. Let's test if this can penetrate a car door."

After speaking, Lin Feng signaled Qu Qiongying to continue firing at the car door from a distance of 15 meters. Unfortunately, although the car door was dented, it was not penetrated.

However, the car's glass offered no resistance to the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle; a single coin bullet shattered the glass.

After moving forward another 5 meters to a distance of 10 meters, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's power was even greater. The impact mark from each coin bullet was almost doubled!

This is because, despite the distance decreasing by only 5 meters, the kinetic energy increased by a factor of two, naturally doubling the power's effect.

The distance was then reduced again to 5 meters. This time, by repeatedly hitting the same spot, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle finally created a hole after a few seconds.

Seeing Qu Qiongying, who had emptied the magazine and thoroughly enjoyed herself, Lin Feng stepped forward and teased her.

"How was it? Is my Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle easy to use? What do you think its potential is compared to your company's Little Xinjiang Drone?"

Hearing this, Qu Qiongying glanced at the camera beside her and hesitated slightly, unsure whether to reveal the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's drawbacks publicly.

But seeing Lin Feng didn't seem to mind, she honestly gave her opinion.

"It's an excellent product, but you probably wouldn't dare to sell it domestically, and it would be difficult to sell overseas."

Qu Qiongying truly lived up to her position as the marketing director of Little Xinjiang Drone, instantly identifying the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's fatal flaw.

This was also the reason why Dianxia Technology struggled to rise in her previous life.

At this moment, although Lin Feng had increased the effective attack range of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle to 15 meters, and the attack power at 10 meters was almost double that of the previous generation, the power and range were still somewhat weak.

More importantly, with such a precise structure, the material and production costs of this electromagnetic rifle would undoubtedly be high, leading to a considerable selling price.

Considering that the cheapest handgun in the American Empire costs only $120, and most are a few hundred dollars.

If the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is expensive, and its power and attack range are so short, it would be even harder to sell.

"This is an anti-riot and public security weapon. Its design and development purpose is not to compete with rifles and handguns in terms of attack range and power."

This is primarily used to deal with enemies that cannot be shot directly, but still need to be incapacitated.

For example, if a thief is caught stealing on the street, the police would naturally intervene. But what if the thief is armed with a knife and trying to escape? Do you shoot or not?

Under normal circumstances, unless the thief charges at the police with the knife, the police definitely cannot shoot first.

After all, if a gun is fired, the thief would likely end up in the hospital for months. Then what happens when their family causes trouble or superiors reprimand you?

Therefore, the only option is for several officers to confront them with batons and shields to subdue them.

But this approach is too dangerous, and it's possible for our officers to get injured or even killed.

With a Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, such headaches would be eliminated. Our Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle has three settings that can quickly adjust its power based on the target's distance.

In such situations, we can fire freely. At worst, the enemy would be bruised and battered, but not to the point of requiring hospitalization for months. This is the purpose of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle."

Hearing Lin Feng explain the purpose and market positioning of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, Qu Qiongying's eyes lit up.

Through Lin Feng's explanation, she keenly realized that the sales potential of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle was infinitely greater than she had imagined.

As for the netizens online, after hearing Lin Feng's explanation, they also chimed in on the live stream.

"I support this! In TV shows and videos on Bilibili, you often see police officers hesitating to act even with their guns drawn, which is so frustrating.

Now, with the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, the police can finally act decisively."

"Indeed, if the police had electromagnetic rifles, they wouldn't have to be so hesitant."

"Exactly. With this, further damage can be prevented in advance.

After all, if you don't dare to shoot and the thief keeps running, who is responsible for the damage caused in the meantime?"
