The Gauss Rifle is a powerful portable variant of the Gauss Turret issued to troops of the Earth Defence Force during the Second Martian Revolution. Working on a principle involving a network of electromagnetic coils, the Gauss Rifle can tip vehicles, blow through walls and cause havoc among hostile infantry. It can also send an EDF aircraft flying backwards if shot in the front. Its small magazine makes it impractical for prolonged firefights, but its stopping power and projectile penetration make it a good long-ranged weapon.
