Description

The Light Gauss Rifle principally functions identical to a Gauss Rifle, electromagnetically accelerating a slug to high speeds to cause massive damage at long range. As its name suggests, however, the Light Gauss Rifle is designed to be more compact, allowing Gauss Rifles to be mounted on smaller combat units. The slug and damage caused by a miniaturized rifle decreases in size, though the rifle may be able to propel a smaller slug farther. Also similar to a standard Gauss Rifle, a Light Gauss Rifle that is struck with a critical hit releases its stored energy and damages the unit it is mounted in, though the Light Gauss Rifle deals less damage corresponding to its lesser size.

Models

The Light Gauss Rifle is manufactured on the following planets:

Brand Planet Company
