If I recall correctly there's also the issue of ballistics. The artillery rail guns have the projectile encased in a sabot AFAIK, something you can't really do in a anti-personnel version, especially if it's handmade. Unless you choose to make a shotgun, and then it's just a with extra steps.
Edit: I just reviewed some wiki articles and sabot isn't really the right term. But whatever.
