It's not hard to build a railgun, the difficult part is in firing large projectiles at high speed.
Also, the "barrels" of these kinds of guns wear fast due to the massive energy passing through them.
[Note that I might be mistaking between 2 kinds of (possible) weapons, one being a railgun, which I think works on Lorentz forces, and the other being .... which works with electro-magnetic forces to give the bullet it's forward speed]
Getting the power is relatively easy, with capicitors. The hard part on it is create wiring in such away that it doesn't fry itself , due to the massive amounts of energy released in a matter of nanoseconds.
