Probably not, it is designed for holding or lifting so the magnetic field will be concentrated very close to the operating surface. It will give some 'push' to a projectile but once it has reached a few mm the force will drop to almost zero.
200V is probably FAR more than you should connect to it. It isn't the voltage you apply or the brief time you apply it for that causes the problem, it's the collapsing magnetic field when the charge is removed. You could get many KV of induced voltage which would destroy the insulation around the wiring. There are ways to protect against that but when it fundamentally wont work well, there is little point in tinkering with protection mechanisms.
