Portable Railgun, 10mm

Portable Railgun, 10mm: This long-barreled, semi-automatic Gauss rifle fires 10mm slugs at hypersonic velocities. Used as a heavy sniper rifle, its advantage over conventional weapons is its larger ammunition capacity and lighter weight, especially when loaded.

Railguns use two conductive rails to generate a current flow that accelerates a saboted projectile to high velocities. In game terms, both use the same rules, differing only in their combat statistics. Railguns usually do more damage and have superior range to equivalent-size Gauss guns, but tend to have slower rate of fire.
