Gauss Rifle

The  is a sniper rifle that appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

"A super-accurate weapon made by the scientists in the Zone. It is almost noiseless, because instead of gunpowder, it uses the artifact's energy for firing rather than steam gases. In spite of the Gauss gun’s tremendous firepower, the recoil is insignificant. The accuracy and the killing power of this gun exceed those of all other small arms."
