Devastating to infantry, it is usually mounted on [[Battle Armor]] of all sorts. − The '''Magshot Gauss rifle''' was produced by [[Federated-Barrett]] under a [[Federated Commonwealth]] Intelligence Command grant to develop the main armament of the [[Infiltrator Mk. II]] [[battle armor]]. While ostensibly designed to defeat light vehicle armor, the FCIC also wanted the weapon to function as a sniper rifle for taking out "soft targets" at extreme ranges. With the recent success of their [[Thunderstroke Gauss rifle]] and [[Grand Mauler Gauss Cannon]], Federated-Barrett was well-positioned to meet these requirements.<ref name=FMFS156>''Field Manual: Federated Suns', p. 156</ref><ref name=LOS42>''Lostech'', p. 42</ref> − A miniature version of vehicle-mounted [[Gauss rifle]]s, the Magshot accelerates a small projectile to incredible speeds by use of a magnetic accelerator. For accuracy at great distances the weapon incorporates a unique telescopic sighting system with infrared and rangefinding capabilities. While the Magshot is standard as part of the Mk. II's armaments, its sheer expense meant the majority of stand-alone weapons were reserved for the [[Department of Military Intelligence]]'s [[MI6]], with a few score being issued to elite [[AFFS]] special forces.<ref name=FMFS156/><ref name=LOS42/>+ [[Category:Weapons]] − − ==Notes== − <div class="gamerules"> − ===Specification=== − : '''Item''':Magshot Gauss rifle<ref>''A Time of War'', p. 274</ref> − : '''Equipment Rating''': E/X-X-E/F − : '''Armor Piercing/Base Damage''': 6B/7 − : '''Range''': 70/280/600/1250 meters − : '''Shots''': 20; 3 Power Points per Shot − : '''Cost/Reload''': 8500/10* − : '''Affiliation''': [[Federated Suns|FS]] − : '''Mass/Reload''': 45kg/16.5kg* − : '''Notes''': Crew: 2 − </div> − − ==References== − <references /> − − ==Bibliography== − * ''[[A Time of War]]'' − * ''[[Field Manual: Federated Suns]]'' − * ''[[Lostech: The MechWarrior Equipment Guide]]'' − * ''[[TechManual]]'' − − − [[Category:Infantry Weapons subject to Rules Review]]
