It's a really big Sniper Rifle. Big whoop.

As I recall, the rifle was attached to the hornet, so maybe as a side seat weapon on some sort of hornet variant? That would be cool, but other than that, it probably wont be in the game.

Yeah, when he was on the Hornet, I doubt it, sounds to overpowered, but you never know with Bungie....
Edit: Tibetz, how does a sniper shoot gauss bullets?

There is no such thing as Gauss bullets. Gauss is the name they developed for the system because Gauss invented the Gauss cannon.

It's basically a bunch of super magnets that shoot a heavy object at extremely high speeds.

think of the effects like this, just 50 Caliber bullet sized, and a LOT faster. Like 10 or 20 times faster.

Here is a homemade Gauss Rifle. It isn't the most amazingly high powered weapon, but it gives you an idea.

It's the Stanchion Rifle, it hangs off the wingtip.

I'm sorry, but I have to be a stickler for this, it's called a Gauss rifle because it's based on a physical law known as Gauss' Law. It refers to the electric flux through a solid surface.
