BackgroundThe Gauss rifle is a coilgun, a type of projectile accelerator, which uses electromagnetic coils configured as a linear motor to accelerate ferromagnetic or conductive projectiles to extreme velocities. Though these weapons were historically suffering from a number of difficulties, focused on discharging the coils in sequence or providing enough power for the coils, these design issues were overcome by German scientists in the 21st century and entered limited service. This class of weapons is named in honor of the mathematician, responsible for formulating the math underlying the magnetic acceleration principle of coilguns.Models M72 Gauss rifle. Gameplay articles:,Patterned after conventional rifles, the M72 has a seven stage electromagnetic accelerator mounted onto a standard frame. A classic stock and grip are provided to make handling easier. This design uses an auto-loading 2mm EC cartridge (carrying both the 2mm slugs and the battery necessary to power it) slid into the magazine well in front of the trigger group.
The combination of German engineering and attention to detail make it a tremendously powerful weapon, with the slugs capable of piercing most targets at extreme ranges.It uses magazines containing both batteries and ammunition. In, it is often used by soldiers.
Gameplay articles:,The following is based on and has not been confirmed by sources.Advertised as the 's newest weapon, a Prototype Gauss rifle was found by a unit, and wielded by one of their commanders at.End of information based on.A supposed Chinese variation on the German design, the scoped Gauss rifle was originally deployed in the. Unlike the original weapon, it features eleven coilgun stages, resulting in a higher damage output. The weapon is larger and bulkier to accommodate the increased stress put on the weapon and uses a different feed system. While the standard magazines incorporate both slugs and ammunition, the Chinese Gauss rifle has to be loaded with ferromagnetic slugs separately, with loaded into the battery well in front of the trigger group. The cell is used to power the magnetic accelerator and fire the slug and has to be replaced after each shot.The immense recoil generated by the weapon is mitigated somewhat by a long muzzle brake and a leather recoil pad.
Fallout 4 version 1.10.162 or higher, Nuka World DLC. The gun will be distributed through leveled list integration script to the gun vendors such as Arturo or KL-E-0, various Gunners, BoS soldiers, Minutemen soldiers, Railroad agents, Raider bosses. Smaller Gauss Rifle - posted in Fallout 4 Mod Requests: I love the gauss rifle, its a great weapon for a stealthy sniper, at least in terms of stats. The ludicrous size of it however sort of ruins any chance of me using it over a silenced sniper, if someone could try to make a mod to make the thing small enough to where it isnt the size of the user, youd be the best person ever.
The bulk of the weapon also helps make it more manageable. However, the payoff is more than generous, as the sheer kinetic energy of the projectile creates a shockwave on impact, dealing additional damage to the target and potentially knocking them off balance. The sheer firepower of the weapon has resulted in the design being used by the American military against the Chinese, both in the form of captured units and a limited production run of reverse-engineered units.

Gameplay articles:,A design halfway between the German Gauss rifle and the Chinese anti-materiel gun, this type of coilgun uses a series of high-powered capacitors and hypermagnetized coils to propel the projectile. The 2mm ferromagnetic slug exits the barrel at extreme velocity, enough to destroy anything in its path.
These are fed from a top-mounted drum, sitting in front of a control panel that displays the current capacitor charge level via a pair of Nixie tubes. The custom-made grip and stock help manage the weapon's mass and recoil, though it's still quite front-heavy and has exposed components.
