They’re actually sending Ahnold Schwarzenwhatever back in time to kill Freeman Dyson, because HE thought of building once... at the Cyberdyne lab.

I’m putting my car away now for several weeks.
The coast may be clear by then.

Only problem with that is, those 50 cal air guns are not at all silent, I’ve seen videos of guys shooting them, and they are pretty damn loud.

make a jacobs ladder. You get an igniter for a mobile home heater. Put two long wires in the electrodes so that the look like rabbit ears, and turn it on. An electrical charge will arc between the two wires all the way up to the top.
This electrical charge will emit all kinds of EMI and it will fry the living heck out of all radio signals and electronics. No more music, just gawd awful static!

For Halloween, I set up a midsize traveling arc.
Never noticed or had complaints about RFI?
The oil burner transformers will work but are on the small side. Neon light transformers, much better.

Any big bore airgun is going to be far from silent without a good LDC (lead dust collector).
Even my .22 PCP is as loud as a .22 short without the LDC. A "thump" with it.

So, 45 m/s is about 150 FPS. Your red ryder will do 180 plus. Cute, buy color me not that impressed.

A toy, nothing more.
We’ll need real EM rifles which can fire sizeable copper slugs at rates measured in miles per second. We’ll need them to deal with armored combat robots, at the very least. Maybe something far worse.
EM rifles like that will require backpack battery packs and have a limited magazine. Mounting them to vehicles or larger combat robots will allow for deeper magazines (depth of magazine being a function of battery capacity).
We’re gonna need ‘em, bad. Excuse the pun.

"Firing 4.6g steel projectiles at a rather leisurely 45 m/s,..."
In American ballistics measurements, that's about 71 grains at a little less than 150 feet per second. Not too good.

A friend of mine built one of those back in 1963. It worked. Messed up radio and TV reception for blocks around.
