The Rotary Gauss Gun is a Heavy weapon pioneered by Ishukone. It is a very powerful automatic weapon that must charge up before firing. After charging up, it continually fires a hailstorm of highly damaging flechettes at the enemy. These flechettes have amazing accuracy and range, at least compared to Assault Rifles and other HMGs. The RGG occupies a long-range niche, allowing a Heavy to fire at an enemy at distance. Compared to the HMG, the RGG is only moderately useful at close-range. It lacks the spread and brute force of the HMG. Unlike the HMG, however, the RGG can accurately hit distant targets. The Rotary Gauss Gun is essentially a Caldari HMG. The Rotary Gauss Gun possesses a box-style magazine, a rounded capacitor array and two spinning gauss barrels.
Advantages over the Minmatar HMG
- The RGG has a far greater range and a tighter spread, allowing it to reliably hit distant targets.
- The RGG has much less falloff, meaning the projectile can travel further without losing damage potential.
- The RGG suffers no additional inaccuracy when it begins to fire.
- The RGG deals more damage against Shields than the HMG.
Disadvantages over the Minmatar HMG
- The HMG has a higher rate of fire.
- The HMG has a higher DPS at close to medium-range.
- The HMG does not need to charge before use.
- The HMG deals more damage against Armor than the RGG.
Roles of the RGG
- The RGG provides suppressive fire at long-range similar to the HMG at close-range.
- The RGG acts as an anti-sniper weapon, making it the first Heavy weapon truly capable of that job.
- The RGG, with proper use, can substitute for a HMG in certain situations.

Sure? Why not. That sounds acceptable. |

Basically a sniper rifle with a single shot taped onto a forge gun that had a much slower projectile velocity? Meh. |

But the Caldari generally don't put rails and missiles on the same ship. They generally prefer either rails or missiles. Some exceptions, sure, but on a handheld infantry weapon? That seems a bit extreme. The Caldari generally prefer raw efficiency over how unique a weapon is. |

Both the scorpion and raven Bs can plausibly fit railguns and hybrids, while the pre patch ferox had 2 free slots for missiles after taking up it's hybrid bonus
Like I said, there are some exceptions, but generally a ship supports one or the other, and ships are ships, not handheld weapons. |

If you aren't going to read the thread, that's alright, but don't reply without knowing what you are saying. |

The idea has merit, but that doesn't mean that the Rotary Gauss Gun isn't good either. |

Oh, really? And what about the Gallente Light Weapon? Which one is that? Oh, the Assault Rifle you say? No, wait, the Shotgun? Oh, the Plasma Cannon!...
If you don't see where I'm going here, you may be better off finding a game that is less intellectually challenging for a person such as yourself. |
