==Overview==
 
==Overview==
The '''Tsunami heavy Gauss rifle''' is a [[Draconis Combine]] semi-mobile [[Gauss rifle]] which was produced in secrecy and first used in a raid against [[Clan Nova Cat]] forces on [[Tarnby]], where it proved itself powerful enough to quickly and efficiently kill [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elementals]].  While similar to the [[Grand Mauler Gauss Cannon]], the Tsunami is less bulky and has a longer range but requires more power to operate.<ref>''Lostech'', p. 42</ref>  Tsunami rifles make for effective sniper weapons, though firing the hypersonic projectiles does produces an audible gunshot in the range of 90 decibels.<ref>''Sword and Fire'', ch. 15</ref>

With its introduction to the [[Inner Sphere]] following the [[Clan Invasion]], the Tsunami has been adapted for use as a [[battle armor]] weapon, and conversely works equally well taking down enemy battle armor suits.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 255</ref>
