Description
Gauss-Delivered Payload Canisters are special rounds designed to be used by man-portable Gauss-based support weapons such as the David Light Gauss Rifle. Developed by the Free Worlds League, these munitions are essentially hollowed-out Gauss slugs which can carry specialty payloads such as liquids or gases. An impact or time-delay trigger, set by the user prior to firing, detonates a small explosive charge, covering an area with the contained payload. Per government policy only non-lethal ordnance such as tear gas is allowed to be deployed by GDPC rounds, although the potential for lethal payloads remains.[1]
