1 thing is i really like the concept of Gausses and rail guns and i can't be in the army(i'm 3.5 x 4) and the sniper does have a little recoil its true but seriously think about the size of the round it should produce a whole lot more kick back and you shouldn't be able to fire it in sucession like that

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


Drez
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

The gauss hog will be in Halo 2 just because they haven't shown it lately doesn't mean it's not there. They have never shown the ATV or the Shadow and we assume they are are in there too.

Hey guys the in the demo show I am extremely sure that it was easy what they were playing so ghost blow up with one shot. and in multiplayer it is legendary and i heard too(was it a weekly update ot something don't remember) that they decreased it fiering speed A LOT. So damage is not so high in Multi player And Fiering speed decreased.

Gauss rifles and Rail guns are two different things but they are very similar

Just makes you wonder, if this gausshog is actually a proper halo-universe vehicle, what the heavy tanks and even the new scorpion are capable of. Which then makes you wonder, how can we be losing the war with weapons like that?

I hear though, it might just be idle speculation, that the gauss rifle is not very effective against infantry. i guess its for balancing the weapons out, otherwise it would slay everything.

..............im not worrying about the gauss hog or the rocket hogs ........becuz im worrying about the transporthog and how fast it will go wif 6 people loaded (1 person driving,1 person in passenger seat , 4 people in back) besides......its been said that the rocket hog is goign to be in halo 2 plust the rocket hog is actually better than the gauss hog....because the rocket hog may only be able to shoot 3 rockets at a time wif out reloading but it can take out a vehicle in about 2 hits and it can take out 6 infantry im one hit

And the RG hog can do the same amount of damage in two shots too it just doesn't have the splash damage like the RL hog but it does have constant fire

I think Kamizar is right because I saw a light not a metal slug. :)

It sounds a bit like the MAC (Magnetically Accelerated Cannon) gun that the ships used in the books, maybe it's based on those but has been scaled down.
