VG-9 VRF Gauss GUn
by Scott Quigg
The VG-9 is part of Kyris' Industies Battlefield 1200 family of weapons. It
is representative of typical medium gauss VRFs and is intended to be mounted
on vehicles capable of providing a substantial power supply (approximately
1.51MW). In return this gauss weapon provides a sustainable rate of fire of
3,000rpm with a short range of 300m.
"When the call comes in for the VG-9, we call it bringing the "heavy heat".
This weapon lays down such heavy suppressing fire that troops can enter the
arena of conflict unscathed. As a tank commander, I'm faced with many
situations where my 100Mj plasma cannon is "overkill" having a secondary
weapon, capable of penetrating body armor and delivering a hell of a kick
afterwards, is certainly a benefit!! This bushwacker is far superior to the
old Imperial 4mm models that had no real firepower." First Sergeant Alex
Branagan, 3rd Gravitic Armor Regiment "Divine Thunder"
