Splinter Assult Rifle
The Splinter Assult Rifle is a GAUSS weapon. The inspiration came from several sources. The research being done at the CERN with the collider which reminded me of seeing expermintal GAUSS designs. The weapon technology behind Metal Storm (company of the same name) and the new XM25.
GAUSS is named after Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss german mathematician and scientist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Friedrich_Gauss
A simple setup that demonstrates the princible of a GUASS gun and how it works.

CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research known as CERN which many might be more familiar with the Hadron Collider thats been in the news.

XM25 Individual Airburst Weapon System is a new weapon being tested for the US Armed Forces that brings computers to the assult rifle in a way that a great many that have read and written about Cyberpunk have been expecting for some time.

Thanks to Questor and the Bear and to those at the Dystopia forms for helping me learn to refine my models and learn about modeling guns. All mistakes are mine.
