== Description ==
The '''Medium naval Gauss''' rifle, or '''medium N-Gauss''', is the middleweight '''[[naval Gauss rifle]]''' in use by [[WarShips]]. It fires a large ferrous slug at a [[WarShip]], [[JumpShip]], or [[DropShip]]. The largest drawback to the medium N-Gauss, like all naval Gauss rifles, is the sheer cost of the weapon. For the cost of a naval Gauss rifle, a WarShip can mount several smaller naval autocannon. One key benefit to the medium N-Gauss, and all naval Gauss rifles, is the extremely low heat they generate when compared to other capital weapons. In addition, if struck by enemy fire, the capacitors in the medium N-Gauss will not explode like a 'Mech-scale [[Gauss rifle]].<ref name="TOp333">''Tactical Operations'', p. 333: "Naval Gauss (Capital Gauss)"</ref>
