Railguns and coilguns are pretty easy to do in RWBY, given the existence of Lightning (or whatever) Dust, which would presumably generate a significant current and field down the wires.

I ask you this: What is plasma? It's a superheated gas so hot that the electrons are stripped from the atoms, resulting in an ionized gas. What would happen if you try to throw a ball of gas at something? It'll disperse.
