I think that is either a Ramjet type anti tank gun or it could be an Gauss Rifle.

Also, this, my friends, is a RAIL GUN not a gauss cannon-rail guns shoot fast as hell, just like that one in the vid.
Actually, its a Gauss Rifle that fires quickly, not a Rail Gun, which typically implies an utility type device, such as one used to launch ships into space. As for a gauss cannon, that would be an unrifled gauss weapon. Gauss Rifles can range in size from pistol size to rifle size to shoulder mounted rocket launcher size to tank cannon size, and even to a massive ship mounted weapon. By the way, the reason it makes that trail is because the projectile flies so fast that it ignites the air around it. A ramjet on the other hand is weapon that fires a projectile that then propels itself with its own engine. The sniper rifle is also likely a ramjet, or even more likely, a gauss rifle, which would explain the weird displays on the back.
But the problem with that theory is a Gauss can only fire as fast as the mechanism can be reset(Check the scitoys site i listed) but a rail gun can be fired as soon as you have another electic current ready and rail guns dont need their ammo to work with its own propultion neither do gausses plus any type of actation chip would most likely be fried if shot by either of these devices(both use EMC) and i dont think they would use ramjet propultion thats one tiny round. i still stand by my conclusion that it is a Rail Gun
