The M72 Gauss rifle is a small gun in Fallout Tactics.
Background
The Gauss rifle is a coilgun, a type of projectile accelerator, which uses electromagnetic coils configured as a linear motor to accelerate ferromagnetic or conductive projectiles to extreme velocities. Though these weapons historically suffered from a number of difficulties, focused on discharging the coils in sequence or providing enough power for the coils, these design issues were overcome by German scientists in the 21st century and entered limited service. This class of weapons is named in honor of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, responsible for formulating the math underlying the magnetic acceleration principle of coilguns.
Characteristics
The Gauss rifle's range, accuracy, and penetrating power are almost unparalleled. The M72 is one of two weapons with the longest range and has the highest single fire damage of any firearm.
This weapon has an aiming bonus when used at long ranges, but this bonus comes with a close-range aiming penalty which is higher than the standard penalty other ranged weapons have. This limits the Gauss rifle to be most effective when used in a long range sniping role.
Locations
- On humanoid robots at Cheyenne Mountain.
- On humanoid robots at the Calculator's Lair (Vault 0).
