Presidential Gauss rifle

The Gauss rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background
An interesting variation on the same basic principle of magnetic acceleration, this Gauss rifle utilities a pan magazine, which stores cartridges perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Characteristics
One of the most powerful and rare weapons in the game, the Gauss rifle is unique in that damage depends on the amount of charge provided by the internal generator. Holding down the fire button charges the weapon up, and it takes about 1.5 seconds for the charge to reach maximum capacity (and damage). The weapon fires when the button is released. This makes it an excellent weapon for surprise sniping tactics, as the charge time does not matter if enemies cannot make out the direction of the assault. Still, tapping the firing button allows for a higher firing rate at the expense of damage for those that wish to charge their enemies and blast them to pieces.
