OI-M3-W3302 25mm Automatic Gauss Cannon

The OI-M3-W3302 was developed in YE 33 by Origin Industries as the primary firearm for the M3 Gekido combat frame.

About the 25mm Automatic Gauss Cannon

As a Gauss cannon, electricity is required to magnetically propel its rounds. The 25mm Gauss Assault Rifle utilizes two HONEY BURST units housed inside the weapon's frame. The ammunition used by the weapon is the same 25mm Gauss Ammunition used by the OI-M3-W3301 25mm Machine Pistol, and in its default state uses General Purpose Armor Piercing High Explosive Incendiary rounds. It features high commonality in parts with the OI-M3-W3301 25mm Machine Pistol, however, it has more power and a slower rate of fire, but higher overall damage.

The weapon is fed from a magazine, but may be stripped down and altered to be belt fed with the use of a specialized adapter which takes the place of a standard magazine. The 25mm Gauss Assualt Rifle is an assault rifle analog for newer frames, and its body consists of Durandium Alloy reinforced with an ADNR lattice so that it can withstand the rigors of combat. The gauss automatic cannon uses contemporary advanced electronic targeting and fire control systems but is also fitted with a hard trigger as well as functional iron sights for reliability.

In design, the weapon is of semi-unconventional in certain aspects, yet keeps to basic and traditional principals that ensure its ease of maintenance, high reliability, and low cost. It is considered no frills, but with all the effectiveness of something fancy.

Nomenclature Information

Appearance

The 25mm Automatic Gauss Cannon is a very simple, boxy Gauss weapon. Less focus was placed on the weapon's looks and more on its durability, as such, it is shaped like a rectangular bar which has a small barrel pointing out of the front, as well as a boxy grip with a large robust trigger, and a set of Iron Sights mounted atop the weapon.
