The GR-1 uses a clamped quasi-resonant (CQR) step-up inverter described in U.S. Patent 10,811,995, which allows a six-cell 25.2 volt lithium-ion polymer battery to supply up to 1000 watts of power to eight high-voltage electrolytic capacitors in approximately three seconds. As with most coilguns, the eight aforementioned capacitors are used to power eight respective electromagnetic coils in the configuration of a linear motor to accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. Although the "GR" designation purports the device to be a "Gauss Rifle", as evidenced both by the company and media reports, this is technically a misnomer on two counts—it is neither a rifle (as it doesn't use rifling) nor a Gauss gun (a type of accelerator that uses permanent magnets and is distinct from a coilgun).

Under United States law, "firearms" are defined as propelling a projectile by combustion. Coilguns such as the GR-1 do not have any combustion mechanism, and therefore are not legally considered firearms. However, Arcflash Labs legally refers to the GR-1 as an air gun out of an abundance of caution.
