The weapon is larger and bulkier to accommodate the increased stress put on the weapon and uses a different feed system.

Unlike the original weapon, it features a scope and eleven coilgun stages, resulting in a more versatile range and higher damage output. This rifle is a Chinese variation on the German design and was originally deployed in the Sino-American War. This class of weapons is named in honor of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, responsible for formulating the math underlying the magnetic acceleration principle of coilguns. Though these weapons were historically suffering from a number of difficulties, focused on discharging the coils in sequence or providing enough power for the coils, these design issues were overcome by German scientists in the 21st century and entered limited service.

The Gauss rifle is a coilgun, a type of projectile accelerator, which uses electromagnetic coils configured as a linear motor to accelerate ferromagnetic or conductive projectiles to extreme velocities. The following section is transcluded from Gauss rifle.
