making the coilgun a regular craftable toy sounds ok, since flamethrowers and zip guns are in. it could load 1 rod at a time, the damage on the rod could be nerfed if you please, and no need for an explosion unless the metal rod was made of an explosive material.
its powercell should only provide enough charge for a few shots, unless u hook up one of those artifact power cells to it
personally ball bearings would make much better ammo than rods, but rods are the most suitable ingame item
perhaps rods crafted from other metals or alloys could have special effects... the most obvious one that comes to mind would be ones made out of those radioactive materials that mining digs up sometimes. the rod could lodge in the body like bullets and shrapnel do, and perhaps continue imparting any special effects based on its material
it should require insulated gloves to both craft and use. someone who tries to use it without the gloves should get fucked up and probably set on fire, maybe suffer heart stoppage due to shock
if youre concerned about them being too widespread as weapons, perhaps you could demand a somewhat rare part, like you need to scrap a pair of magboots for parts or something
