Description[edit]
The Tsunami heavy Gauss rifle was originally produced in secret by the Draconis Combine as an infantry portable Gauss rifle to take down battle armor. It was first used in a raid on the Clan Nova Cat-held world of Tarnby, where it proved itself powerful enough to quickly and efficiently kill Elementals. Since then the Tsunami has been adapted for use as a battlesuit weapon itself, and become a favorite among battle armor users for taking on enemy suits.[3][4]
