I present to you the Hyper Assault Gauss rifle, with 3 variations including the HAG-20, HAG-30 and HAG-40.
From Sarna:
The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle is a variation on the Gauss Rifle developed by Clan Hell's Horses in 3068. Hoping to stay ahead of the increasing technological curve, they apparently used similar design principles to the Lyran Alliance's Heavy Gauss Rifle. To compensate for its drawbacks, however, Horse scientists used a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs. The resulting high rate of fire, akin almost to Rotary Autocannons, made these weapons very effective against battle armor and Combat Vehicles.
Some specs:
HAG-20
Weight: 10 tons
Damage: 1 per slug
Slots: 6
HAG-30
Weight: 13
Damage: 1 per slug
Slots: 8
HAG-40
Weight: 16 tons
Damage: 1 per slug
Slots: 10
I guess the rate of fire is up to PGI and balancing, but I could imagine this would be an extremely powerful weapon and clans are really lacking in ballistics anyway. I don't see how this could be implemented with good velocity, range and fire rate without being OP so I'm open to conjecture.
I think it should have a cone of fire that slowly grows the longer it's been shooting but have an insane rate of fire, therefor it can be balanced. Also apparently they're supposed to run a little hot so maybe heat penalties.
I'm also assuming the only difference between 20, 30 and 40 classifications is the fire rate. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It's time to give the clans a unique ballistic.
