Actually a gauss rifle would be very loud. If you've ever watched the military channel or discovery where they are working to develope actual gauss rifles the discharge of power they produce is incredibly loud.

Dredrik Salkon's keen ears found some MG sound bites at 1:53, 2:49 and 2:53. The last one (2:53) is clearest imo. Sadly, it is also quite short.

Did anyone notice that one of the Jenners was running at 138.8kph?

If I'm thinking about footage you are referring to, that's a navel rail-gun. They also use gas along with the magnetic coils. The gas ignites and explodes (thus the fire and noise). Gauss cannons are actually coil guns, there is a difference.

So a 275 lbs areodynamic round. Hmmm... I wonder what kind of a shockwave that would produce?

This forum needs more physics.

You still have a sonic boom which would be loud. Should brush up on your physics.

Around 1:12 the good ol' "Reactor online, sensors online, weapons online; all systems" part was there. Then it said ONLINE and not NOMINAL. Sad.
