Can this be used in a coil gun?

IXTH10N100
If I place these in parallel (I have a lot 50+) can they be used to switch the power through the coil? How do I find out how many I need? I can find much data on the semiconductors at all.

Not a good idea, unfortunately. A simple search for a datasheet reveals that this MOSFET can only handle 40A of pulsed drain current, which if you use all 50, gives you only 2000A of pulse capability. Not only that, 50 MOSFETs would need an insanely powerful gate driver, and device variation could cause enven current sharing, especially with that many devices. You're better off with one or two SCRs.
