  • Page 3 1. Introduction The Arcflash Labs SGP-34 (Solenoid Gauss Pistol – Model 34) is a single stage, SCR switched, high voltage capacitor driven, slide-action coilgun. It is a single stage design with TTL operation and no microcontroller components. The charging of the capacitor is activated by powering on the unit and discharging is initiated through the SCR and coil upon a trigger pull, or through a high wattage bleeder resistor when the power is shut down.
  • Page 4 1 foot may cause irreversible damage to the gun, fire, explosion, electrical shock or venting of toxic gas from the battery or capacitors. If the SGP-34 is dropped or exposed to water: discontinue use immediately and return the gun to its manufacturer for repairs.

  • Page 6 Mangetic Armatures or 0.25x0.75” steel dowel pins could result in fire or explosion. The SGP-34 is a single shot handheld gauss pistol – its core component is a high voltage switch called a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) which quickly discharges all the stored energy in the capacitor into the drive coil, creating a large magnetic field.
  • Page 7 2.2 Injector - Do not slam the slide or let go of the slide at full extension like a conventional firearm. This will damage the retention mechanism and it will also NOT properly seat the round. - To properly seat a round, rack the injector slowly, keeping your hand on the injector slide mechanism at all times.
  • Page 8 The SGP-34 relies on an ultra-compact high voltage boost converter to step up the battery voltage and charge its capacitor rapidly. Due to the small size of the SGP-34, it relies on a less advanced technology than Arcflash Labs’ patented CQR chargers. The boost converter generates a great deal of heat and its core components are mounted to the bottom of the aluminum plate that runs the length of the top of the gun.
  • Page 9 2.5 Battery - The SGP-34 contains a large 4S Lithium Polymer battery. Never leave a charged battery unattended and always store in a cool , dry environment. - Take care not to pinch the wires when closing the battery compartment.
  • Page 10 - Do not exert excessive pressure on the trigger. It is a fragile component. The trigger of the SGP-34 is connected to a small microswitch internally and is actuated by a small spring. The trigger only has roughly 0.06” of travel length and the spring return is very fragile.

    3. Operation 3.1 Startup - It is unsafe to power up the gun with a magazine inserted. - Always check that there is nothing inside the barrel before powering up. Any rounds or debris inside the barrel during startup could result in a misfire. 1.
