Model 3 Gauss Sniper Rifle

BARD PAPER: VERA5005

An experimental weapon developed by Tarantino Limited several years ago, only twelve of these guns were ever manufactured. These were stored in a warehouse for a short time until they mysteriously disappeared. None of the guns has ever been recovered. A unique feature of this weapon is the special discarding sabot ammunition developed for it. DS rounds are generally not produced for gauss weapons because they are rather difficult to manufacture. The weapon was also designed to be used with an optional cybernetic eye implant which dramatically increases the short range of the weapon.

Designer's Notes: This is kinda what I pictured the rail guns in the movie "Eraser" being like. More than likely, the firer would set up this weapon in a discrete location and then ambush the target from long range.
