The Gauss rifle is a coilgun, a type of projectile accelerator, which uses electromagnetic coils configured as a linear motor to accelerate ferromagnetic or conductive projectiles to extreme velocities. Though these weapons were historically suffering from a number of difficulties, focused on discharging the coils in sequence or providing enough power for the coils, these design issues were overcome by German scientists in the 21st century and entered limited service.
This class of weapons is named in honor of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss , responsible for formulating the math underlying the magnetic acceleration principle of coilguns. Its appearance is that of a standard Gauss rifle with a sandy or rusted texture along the barrel and main body; it also appears to have black stripes on the wooden stock. Additionally, the lens of the scope is tinted red instead of the regular untinted lens found on the standard Gauss rifle's scope.
It also has 4 more coils around the barrel, possibly explaining the greater damage , while still remaining the same length. This weapon uses 4 microfusion cells per shot, instead of the normal 5 of a standard Gauss rifle. Possibly due to the added coils, this weapon is 1 pound heavier than the standard version. It is also slightly more accurate. Like the standard Gauss rifle, it boasts several advantages over the anti-materiel rifle. In addition to its increased damage output, it also tends to cripple limbs on a direct hit, providing you do not kill the enemy immediately.
When using max charge microfusion cells, this weapon can deal a devastating base damage. With all related perks , this can be increased to A hostile mercenary with reinforced combat armor or reinforced combat armor mark 2 is carrying this weapon and will attack the player character on sight.
