Gauss Gun

The original design of the 10mm Gauss rifle dates back nearly a hundred years when Rankong contracted the Brotherhood of Fire to produce a rifle for Rankong's elite warriors, the Guardians of the Light. During the decades that followed the 10mm Gauss Rifle gained an almost mythical reputation for accuracy and stopping power. Although 10mm Gauss Rifles are no longer used by the Guardians of Light and are no longer manufactured by the Brotherhood of Fire, nearly identical copies are still being produced on a couple of worlds.
