The problem is really one of efficiency not available battery power. For example M193 5.56 out of a 16" barrel has 1200 foot pounds/1,627 Joules of muzzle energy. That's only 0.45 Watt hours. Pic related is a little 18650 rechargeable battery that stores 14.8 Watt Hours of energy. So you can see that the problem is how to impart that energy upon a projectile without loosing 99% as heat. Whenever that design issue is solved then DIY gauss guns will be unstoppable.
