If I recall, one of the huge challenges was handling just that. Specifically, I remember something written on it a few years ago that the device was functional, but due to the overwhelming amperage, each shot fused the system up. And now I'll believe it, given that the video shows the casing partially vaporizing as the projectile is exiting.

There's something incredibly shocking about something exploding without traditional explosive chemistry. Just a monumental arc flash (or something - I don't know if it's the same mechanism).
