I can see the problem with that railgun.

The photo appears to show you are connecting the capacitors in series. Connect and charge them in parallel.

At the moment, you are losing most of those 800J due to poor wiring. Capacitors work oddly, so changing it round should increase the power you get.

...I'm sorry, but that made my year.
