well i got plans for a micro railgun, <a href="http://www.geocities.com/physicsthings/ ... m">here</a> . so it fires tinfoil and its not that powerful but its still a railgun none the less. the railgun he made used camera flash capacitors, if you feel like making it more powerful head over to digikey get some like 350v 1000uf caps for like $10 ea. course then you need a charging circuit (cuase they will overload the cameraflash) pm me bout that.

p.s. - when you search "micro railgun" on google this is the first thing that comes up
be sure to check out my <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/ak-styl ... 9.html">AK Styled Vortex Gun</a> and my <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/at-4-t9627.html">AT-4 Rocket</a>

upcoming projects... finalized clip fed BBMG and ball point pen sniper

There isn't really any relative size concerning railguns, there aren't really enough to warrant size designations. Mini could be anywhere from 1 inch to 3 feet, while big could be 2 feet to 50 ft.

This one is relatively small, and it uses everybody's favorite material in it.

Now I know it's a bit late but have any of you tried http://www.railgun.org I don't know if you could call it a mini, but it's a railgun and it's homemade.
