It misses rifling or some other method of spinning the bullet along it's axis. Stabilizing fins is one way but it's inefficient method as it creates lots of drag that only self propelled ammunition can withstand. On CQC combat, maybe. For longer ranges RoF is not such a big issue so you can spin each bullet with simple motor before launch. Can imagine the scene: you hear a faint spinning sound; you got a sniper somewhere close.. No muzzle flashes or loud bang, just bullets hitting the wall.
There is extra feature in coil guns, the acceleration is gradual and totally controllable so you can use wide variety of explosive material in them.

I would like to know how much the projectiles weigh. The way they measure the power of firearms is in foot/pounds. take the mass, and velocity plus a dash of math bingo bango.
