Gauss Rifle

Gauss Rifles are hand-held weapons utilizing electromagnetic coils to propel metal slugs at extremely high velocities. Though they use solid projectiles as part of their ammunition, their effectiveness depends on the player's Energy Weapons skill.

There are only two known gauss weapons in the Fallout universe so far:
 * M72 Gauss Rifle (Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics)
 * Scoped Gauss Rifle (Fallout 3: Operation: Anchorage DLC)
