These mass drivers are going to be very, very long.
I've graphed out the required length of a mass driver depending on the acceleration, assuming they will reach lunar escape velocity (~2,400m/s)
Even if the mass driver could reach 50m/s^2 of acceleration (~5G), the mass driver

10g acceleration is an easy design target for electronics and fine for most humans if properly positioned
