The '''Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle''' is a variation on the [[Gauss rifle]] developed by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] in [[3068]]. Hoping to stay ahead of the increasing technological curve, they apparently used similar design principles to the [[Lyran Alliance]]'s [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]]. To compensate for its drawbacks, however, Horse scientists used a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs.  The resulting high rate of fire, akin almost to [[Rotary Autocannon]]s, made these weapons very effective against [[battle armor]] and [[Combat Vehicle]]s.<ref name="TMp219">''TechManual'', p. 219, "Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle"</ref>
