Description
The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle is a variation on the Gauss Rifle developed by Clan Hell's Horses in 3068. Hoping to stay ahead of the increasing technological curve, they apparently used similar design principles to the Lyran Alliance's Heavy Gauss Rifle. To compensate for its drawbacks, however, Horse scientists used a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of small Gauss slugs.
More HAG rounds are more likely to hit at close range, and less likely to hit at long range. This translates to a +2 and -2 respectively on the Cluster Hits Table.
The HAG 20 is the smallest and lightest of the HAG series.
