The Gauss Rifle is basically a Mini-Gun version of the Abwehran Mass-driver; it was created right after the Rebellion and has been used ever since. With the largest magazine in the military forces, the Drachenhauch is definitely the type of weapon only Powered Armor can carry into battle. The user sacrifices the speeds and jumping capacity a Dämon Powered Armor can reach for extreme firepower. Though the soldier doesn’t have to be completely stationary while firing the GR-01, he must walk very slow and fire in a sweeping motion for this weapon to be effective. The magazine does have the ability to be replaced if needed, but due to the size of the magazine in question it is only possible if the user was defending a stationary position. The Gauss Rifle can be used as a turret emplacement to defend stationary targets.

Though untested in combat, the GR-01 Drachenhauch has gone through massive amounts of tests in simulations and firing ranges to see its effectiveness. Surpassing the expectation of military forces and even the efficiency and penetration of the ILC-01, the GR-01 is the preferred anti-infantry weapon of the Imperial Military Forces. Though the brass would prefer the use of the ILC-01 to the GR-01, it is believed that the Drachenhauch will never be retired anytime soon. It was reclassified in late AF 259 (YE 30) to a Gauss Gatling Cannon or GGC.
