Title: Gauss Rifles in the Free Rasalhague Republic
Post by: Ice Hellion on October 24, 2020, 04:36:43 PM
Are Gauss Rifles produced in the Free Rasalhague Republic prior to Operation Revival? And after?
If not, who is more likely to be their supplier?

Can't think of any designs that they produced with Gauss, if they got some Id assume either Comstar or Federated Commonwealth depending on time frame looking at

According to Sarna.net, the Omega 12-Coil Gauss Rifle is made on Satalice and is used on the Marauder IIC 7. This would make it a Clan weapon.

Too bad, I had an idea for upgrading their tank forces. I will have to look elsewhere.

Good question Ice, I tend to wonder how many industrial facilities in the Free Rasalhague Republic had capability to manufacture lostech equipment. Much of the Kungsarme seemed to be composed of older level 1 equipment.

From my research, not much.

Lostech could then explain their rapid military growth which could have been boosted by FedCom and Draconis Combine efforts to sell off their older military hardware to this buffer state.
