Description[edit]

The "King David" Light Gauss Rifle is a heavier support version of the "David" infantry gauss rifle developed by the Free Worlds League. The "King David" features better recoil management and ammunition feeds, allowing it to lay down effective suppressive fire on the enemy firing in either single-shot mode or a five-round burst-fire mode. However the fact that it requires a tripod and both a gunner and loader to operate makes it far less portable and easy to use than the lighter "David". Because of this, it is mostly used by conventional infantry in static defenses, although with the appropriate modifications the "King David" could be mounted on battle armor.[1]
