I think its Volt Ampere

...OK, what does this mean to me?
1UP:
Would this work?
BTW, there's a diode on the gun coil shorted across the two coil leads. Not sure what this does, but do I still need a diode AFTER the coil (before the relay)?
ErikRuud:
Un-regulated power supplies are often often rated in VA. The fact that they are un-regulated means that if the current demand goes up, the voltage may go down as the power supply tries meet the demand.
I can find a link to more technical explanation if you want.
1UP:
OK, did some tinkering, here's what I came up with.
I could only find a solid-state relay that switched AC current using 5VDC.
