M40 gauss rifle

The M40 Special Application Scoped Rifle, also referred to as the M40 gauss rifle or simply the Stanchion, is a United Nations Space Command anti-matériel rifle. It is a replacement for the Rorsch Mark I railgun used during the Third World War and Interplanetary War.

=== Design details ===
The M40 is a semi-automatic, electromagnetic linear accelerator weapon that fires 5.6x25mm ferrotungsten projectiles from a ten-round detachable box magazine at a velocity of 2,700 meters per second. The rifle features a thumbhole stock, a bipod and a scope mount compatible with standard optical sights. Despite its relatively compact size it is fairly heavy - weighing 20 kilograms - and requires an external power supply, as well as a portable computer to provide the ballistic calculations necessary to engage long range targets.
