Because it's suggested that the weapon acts as a typical firearm but with magnets instead of powder.

We have been asking that for a while. I guess to make it look cool.

Yah the nerd in me had to ask.

A gauss rifle would expend no "flash" due to no combustion, and therefore no escaping gases to redirect with a compensator.

I think it's the spark suppressor (friction and stuff). They're NC afterall, you can come with "faulty secondhand design" excuse for anything with them.

If I remember correctly it was always explained that the Gauss Rifle uses a combination of magnetic propulsion alongside standard cartridge rounds. Thus allowing it to achieve a much higher muzzle velocity than either of the two components could accomplish alone.

Which is why NC are winners.

Exactly, the first planetside explained the Gauss rifle to use combustion based rounds, they were just boosted by gauss technology.

Holy shit! NC r gonna pwn! D:

Is that the full size image?

It most likely is the full size magazine, it just looks very small cos the underslung launcher covers it up.

In "normal screenshots", it looks like a quite a standard 30 rd magazine that we're used to from RL and other games.

We are just gonna look better doing it this time around.

Except TR have explosive tipped rounds, as referenced here.

And we have a lot of them

Coreldan · 2012-01-09, 08:55 AM

Explosive tipped rounds? That's nothing compared to an underslung tri-barreled velociraptor launcher

VS scientists already developed what they call a Rainbow Dasher, more commonly referred to as "Dasher". It's like the Lasher, but it shoots special anti-velociraptor rainbow.

fixed this for you.

Wonder if that is actually the heavy gauss rifle the Rexo class will be using. It's overall size is a bit large it seems to me.
