Gauss Weapons are a type of projectile weapon. Essentially, gauss weapons are beefed up versions of needle weapons, operating on the same principle: a metal projectile is propelled down the barrel by a magnetic field. Performance wise, gauss weapons are otherwise similar to their conventionally-propelled counterparts. They hit slightly harder, but have similar range. They are also slightly heavier (2.5kg for a pistol and 4.5 kg for a rifle). Their ammunition is more expensive, as it requires both projectile and SEU to power the magnetic coils. * See also: * Gauss Pistol * Gauss Rifle
