HOL UP wouldn't a railgun have recoil? Or does the electro ... stuff make it so there wouldn't be any?

Anything that has a bullet/projectile has recoil. The larger/faster the bullet, the more recoil.

recoil is just one of newton's laws of motion in action

you'd need a magic railgun if you want to violate physics
