The gauss also had worse COF bloom than the cycler. The higher rate of fire on the cycler was compensated with slower COF bloom, meaning if you shot it in bursts with light taps you got really good results. The Gauss required you to treat it as a semi-auto battle rifle and tap each shot, but if you took a good gauss user and gave them a cycler it was quite disgusting.
Some of the best MA gauss users I knew tore shit up with a gauss. But if they looted a cycler..they became gods. In PS1 the key was tapping. With the cycler you could tap and get off two shots for every 1 without significantly reducing the bloom. So dps went way up to someone who knew how to use it properly.
