In gaming terms its called a Railgun I suppose.

Railguns are slightly different from coilguns. In a coilgun, coils of wire around the barrel are used to pull the projectile down the barrel. A railgun uses two rails which the projectile slides down. In a railgun current passes down one rail, through the projectile and back down the other rail. Railguns have the advantage that they accelerate the projectile evenly down the entire length of the barrel. To do this, a coilgun would require multiple stages.
