Gauss Guns accelerate projectiles down a long tube that often runs the length of a ship. The projectiles are cased in steel, imparted a magnetic charge, and boosted toward the target at fantastic speeds. A cluster of Gauss Guns fired all at once can either shred a target with small or medium-sized projectiles....or miss entirely. There's nothing quite like a hit from a battery of Gauss Guns, and weapons crews often refer to targets struck in such a manner as being """"de-gaussed"""", though it seems to be an inside joke since it doesn't seem to make any sense to anybody other than a Gauss Gunner.
