This results in the slugs leaving the muzzle at a claimed velocity of approximately 100 meters (328 feet) per second. When the projectile touches, the pulse discharges and the coil accelerates the projectile, pulling it through to the next coil.” at the entrance of the last three coils are contacts made of spring-wire, reaching into the barrel. My rifle holds four banks of capacitors and four coils. “You will get a short electromagnetic pulse, which pulls the slugs through the coil. “You charge a capacitor (high voltage preferred), and discharge it through a coil made of copper wire,” he said.

Priebe did his best to explain to us non-weapons-makers just how that ammo is fired. Not the easies to acquire, but definitely one of the best to use. It does stupid amounts of damage, has a crazy good range, and the explosive damage just makes it nuttier than ever. It shoots 5.7-mm steel ammunition, from a built-in 8-slug clip. Personally, my favorite pistol out of ALL the Fallout 76 pistols is the Gauss. The 400-volt semi-automatic Gauss Rifle is what’s known as a multistage coilgun. While he liked the look of the game’s version of the gun in first-person view, he wasn’t as keen on how it looked when placed on the ground. Priebe told us that he took his inspiration from the K-Volt weapon, featured in the game Crysis 2. His latest nasty futuristic device? A video game-inspired electromagnetic weapon, called the Gauss Rifle. In the past, the German cyberpunk weapons-maker has brought us such creations as a wrist-mounted mini-crossbow, a laser-sighted rotary-saw-blade-shooting crossbow, and a flame-throwing glove.

Well, Patrick Priebe might have outdone himself with this one.
