Gauss Submachine Gun

(Redirected from Gauss Sub-Machine Gun)

The Gauss Submachine Gun (sometimes referred to as a "Gauss SMG" or a "GSMG") is a personal gauss weapon used by the Clans.

Description[edit]

Gauss Submachine Gun

The Gauss Submachine Gun was introduced and sold by Clan Diamond Shark in the wake of the Clan Invasion, as the Invading Clans found themselves ill-prepared to combat the low-level insurgencies spreading throughout their Occupation Zones and required effective weapons for unarmored security forces[1].

Based on the gauss pistol standard to many Clan paramilitary police, Diamond Shark technicians were able to create a weapon slightly larger than a normal submachine gun, silent in operation and capable of semiautomatic or three-round burst modes. Firing ferromagnetic tungsten alloy darts at subsonic speeds, the Gauss SMG can defeat most forms of personal combat armor.[1]
