Fun fact about this in real life: A problem that gunmakers have had to deal with is that, although a faster-moving bullet fires straighter and penetrates better into its target, if the bullet moves too fast it will just poke a hole straight through a person without imparting enough of its kinetic energy onto them to be able to do real damage. So, i doubt the peasant railgun would be effective in real life.

Pure theory, likely never ever going to be real, but could a bullet move so fast that it goes through someone without even damaging them?

Not really applicable but think there could be a small chance it would quantum tunnel through the person but that's such miniscule chance.
