Here's my source, where's yours? There's a video about a Caldari looking assault rifle called the Gauss Rifle. Yes there is, but that's an old video and has no basis to confirm the Gauss Rifle is an AR-equivalent or that it's coming any time soon, and it's confirmed the Rail Rifle is in a valid position on the roadmap. You my good sir, are an idiot. A gauss rifle uses rail gun technology... It's called a "Gauss rifle" for the type of magnetic field it uses to propel a farris slug down range A rail gun works off the same principle. The concept art for the gauss rifle was done when they released Templar one, if you watched the live stream of fan fest you would know that the same concept art was used for the gauss rifle that will be implemented in game Good day to you
You, my good sir, are an idiot.
Rail gun technology is not the same as gauss technology. Yes, they work on the same principle (you fire a slug using magnetic propulsion). No, the technology implementation is not the same at all.
Gauss weapons, also known as "coil guns", use several timed electromagnetic coils to push the slug. The timings of the coil, the energy used and the shape of the slug will determine how fast bullet will be going out of the "barrel". Rail weapons uses a pair of rail that are constantly charged, using the slug as the bridge for the two connections,throughout the length of the "barrel" in order to launch the bullet (that is, the bullet must be touching both rails in order for the system to work).
Good day to you... |

Instead of simply Gallente AR, it should be called Gallente Blaster Rifle.
So:
Gallente Blaster Rifle
Amarr Scrambler Rifle
Caldari Gauss Rifle
Minmatar Duct Tape Rifle.
I approve of this... cept Minmatar got the "Combat Rifle" moniker. Until we know for sure how much the names will differ, I'd like to see what they do before they figure out a name.
Actually, just call it "Rifter Rifle" (hope you guys get this reference)... |

Plasma and electrons are not the same thing though.
Just saying.
Alternative for Gallente AR: Gallente Plasma Blaster (doesn't necessarily need to be given a name that says it's an AR) |

Why not Gallente "Plasma Gatling Gun"? |
