I wouldn't trust the powerlabs gun, Sam has kinda a bad reputation of inflating his claims to make them seem more impressive but you never know...
In any case, even a 1% gun would have a fair bit of power with that cap bank, so especially as far as a videogame replica goes I wouldn't worry abut too little power to get things going.
You will on the other hand definitely want to switch to a steel projectile. You might want to make it a little smaller than your planned aluminum one (due to the higher density of steel) to keep you velocity up. But you can't just put an aluminum slug into a sollenoid and hope to make a coilgun--it will give pathetic efficiencies.
