Great video.
The production shows plenty of finesse --
a series of mistakes just a bit too well staged to be accidental. smile

Look at his other videos, the failures are staged... BTW the circuit is also a bit of a fail, because all the energy stored in the coil goes into overvolting the FET.

The thing that annoys me most on youtube videos is people getting these things mixed up: Coil Guns, Rail Guns and Gauss Guns
