It seems to me that the Gauss Rifle in Arsenal is a little underpowered.
The principal of the weapon suggests that armor would do little more than annoy a gauss round and that you'd basically be picking your teeth out of the nearest tree if you were actually shot with one. It doesnt seem like the kind of hit you can just shrug off or absorb. 9P is a respectable hit, but I'd expect a little more bang for my money on something like that. |
