General Details
Name: Improved Gauss Rifle
Type (Category): Weapon (Ballistic)
Reference: Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras (p. 90)
Description:
Clan technology would scarcely improve the performance of the standard Gauss rifle beyond its Star League-era glory, but the improved version nevertheless demonstrated how Kerensky’s disciples proceeded along that path.
Game Rules:
Gauss rifle capacitors remain charged (and thus explosive) throughout game play, even if the unit is shut down or its crew/pilot is unable to act, and an improved Gauss rifle will deliver a 20-point internal explosion if it suffers a critical hit. As with most early Clan improved weapons, the improved Gauss rifle has the same heat, damage, range values, and shots-per-ton as its Inner Sphere version.
