Gauss Pistol Design

By David Hoey ·

TML message #7143From bundle 569

The following is design for a silenced 10mm Guass Pistol.
To make the weapon totally silenced the muzzle velocity has to be 300 meters
per second.  This makes for light damage round if just using darts.  I included
HE and HEAP in the design for when the person shooting is no longer concerned
about making use.  Just change the magazine to HE and start doing some damage.

Notes:
Under damage for gauss weapons doesn't indicate to round fractions up or down.
With small arms if the damage is less than 0.8 it is -1 else it is 1.  I
used the small arms damage rule to this weapon as it had a daamge value of 0.7
for the dart.
