General Information
| Gauss Rifle |
|
A step beyond the Gauss pistol, the rifle packs a real punch, with its twin particle accelerators. Replacing the Elerium powered Plasma system, we have utilised a micro particle accelerator that generates a stream of anti-protons. |

The Gauss Rifle is a powerful rifle that is accurate and has an auto fire mode. Thanks to its good balance of abilities, it is often the most favoured of the three Gauss weapons.
The Gauss Rifle improves on the Gauss Pistol by introducing greater accuracy and a small increase in stopping power. It is not as fast but can still maintain a high damage output. It also features a high capacity 15-round ammunition clip.
Note: All Gauss Weapons must be manufactured.
The Gauss Rifle is a good general-purpose weapon that is suitable as a standard issue squad weapon. Having ammunition that is easy to mass-produce, it is a useful weapon for conserving Sonic Pistol and Sonic-Blasta Rifle ammunition when fighting against non-Lobsterman crews.
This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Laser Rifle.

Recommendations
The Gauss Rifle is a good starting weapon and continues to be a fairly respectable weapon in the later game. However, as many terror units and later enemies are very tough and highly resistant to Gauss rounds, it is highly recommended that some Sonic Weapons or Sonic Pulsers are mixed in to assist the rifles when heavier fire power is needed.
