Can you make a gauss gun from a 12-220 V module?
I have a whole bunch of these modules . I don’t really live in the world of electronics, but I’m wondering if it’s possible, according to the scheme, Akum - module - coil, to make a gauss gun without capacitors? If my idea is crazy, tell me why it won't work

Just because the gauss gun needs capacitors, and it also needs control electronics to control the sections of the solenoid in order to form the correct accelerating field as the projectile flies.
Without a control system, the field will work to accelerate the charge only until it flies into the middle of the coil, then it will begin to slow down the projectile.
That is why we need all these capacitors, transistors, multi-section coils and other stuffing.
Capacitors in the Gauss gun are unnecessary, but this garbage will not help you much either.
In fact, this module in itself has a certain value. If you really want to find a good electronics engineer in your yard and exchange these modules for a Gauss gun
Will not work.
There it is necessary to give a lot of energy in a short period of time, and not in one coil. Capacitors just allow you to quickly give up the charge, and get very high currents for a short time. At the same time, they are simple and compact.
It is theoretically possible to do it through converters, but their power must be very large, as well as the current that the battery will have to withstand, while not giving a large voltage drop.
And of course, there must be a process control system, as simple as you described it will not work.
