Subject: MAR - Magnetic Accelerator Rifle

I'm xAssault12x, and I love the Halo Universe. Discussion please!

This rifle would act like a mini MAC gun from UNSC ships and orbital platforms.

It would be about as long as a sniper rifle, but much thicker and generaly cooler looking. It would fire a solid slug and the gun would only hold 1 slug at a time. The slug would be accelerated to an insane velocity allowing it to pass through an entire Halo multiplayer map. Some sort of high tech thermal scope that lets you look through the entire map would be mounted on the top of the gun.

Reload time would be either 10 or 15 seconds long. The reason for such a long reload time is to make sure that this gun doesn't completely control the game. After every shot the gun must be opened so it can be cooled and a new solid slug can be incerted. The gun can only fire 4 shots before the power cell is depleted.

This is a great gun that lets you kill anyone from anywhere, but it also will lead everyone to you as well. The slug leaves a brilliant light trail and the gun has an epicly loud sound. You might be sneaky in your cave but as soon as you fire the entire enemy team will know where you're at. Make every shot count because you only get 4. After that the gun is dead.

No. The gauss rifle people like to talk about is some BR wannabe or just another type of sniper. This is a completely different gun. Also, gauss rifles just fire really big bullets really really fast. My gun uses magnetic acceleration. Very different.

Yeah...see Gauss rifle thread.

In any case, my answer is still no.

So you mean a Coil Gun, also known as the Gauss gun because of Carl Gauss' study of magnetic acceleration.

Also known as NOT a "very different" gun..

Ok, they are similar but stil different. Besides, I would bet no one has my exact version of the gun. That is the point of making this thread. My version is out there for the world to check out and like or dislike.

Exactly. Only difference that coilguns use a series of magnetic coils making no contact with the projectile, while a railgun requires contact with polar rails and an electric current to create a magnetic field which accelerates the projectile. Simply, no contact vs. contact.

Interesting to note that in Halo, the Gauss cannons on the warthogs are very loud..but since the magnetic projectile requires no contact with the magnetic coils, you'd think there wouldn't be any sound...Unless the projectile was faster than the speed of sound and created a sonic-boom....0.o

The rounds splode on contact. I always found this odd, as I've always seen Gauss Cannons/Rifles as surgical anti-material weapons.

This could actually be easily done

give Spartans the ability to dismount the Gauss cannon

Its the same concept as the Gauss Rifle already established in the Halo universe.

In any case, I'm all for it. Even if its just a single player exclusive weapon.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Stop being full of crap.

Gauss Rifle = Rail Driver = Magnetic Accelerator Rifle.

They all use electromagnets to propel a projectile at high speeds.

He might have good ideas but the gun I am talking about is NOTHING like the Spartan Laser. He had an Epic Fail moment.

Your description makes it look like the human sniper rifle.
