Gauss Rifle
General Information
A further development in Gauss weaponry, the Gauss Rifle offers more power over the Gauss Pistol, at the expense of a smaller clip. The most powerful weapon in the war that can be fired on auto, the Gauss Rifle has a place in the armory of almost any X-Com base. Effective against most aliens, with a decent clip size and easy-to-acquire ammunition, some of these should be kept around for that 'just in case' situation where auto-fire will come in handy.

USOpaedia
- 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.
