Overview[]
Real weapon[]
Gauss hypotetical cannon is a weapon that use potencial force from magnetic atraction/repelion, able to shot metal proyectiles at extremly velocity. US Army created a cannon to their warships, able to shot tungstene proyectiles at over 1900 m/s making it plasmatic, being more powerful than any other sinetic weapon, but the damage to the barrel was too high and the energy requiered also was too much.
Some other handable cannons were made, but all have the same problems.
Thing-Thing Arena 2[]
