Stalker call of chernobyl sell damaged guns series#

Unlike traditional firearms, the Gauss Rifle does not launch projectiles using combustion, but rather uses a series of electromagnets powered by fragments of a Flash artifact to fire special, ferromagnetic slugs at high speeds, capable of completely ignoring protective armor, even the armor of the Exoskeleton cannot stop a Gauss round at any range. The result of their efforts was an incredibly powerful sniper weapon that virtually outclassed every available firearm in the zone in terms of raw power and accuracy. The Monolith adapted solutions introduced by Clear Sky. ДЄfter the Zone came into being in 2006, the Clear Sky faction took prototype versions of the weapon (with no great problem, as they were part of the Group) and remade one of them to function as the non-lethal EM1 Rifle, using pieces of the Flash artifact to power it, solving issues with power supply once and for all.ДЄfter the faction's downfall at their failed assault at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the Monolith obtained the EM1 Rifle and used it as a basis to produce their own version of the Gauss rifle in limited quantities. The testing workshop in Zaton was sealed, with the test Gauss cannon and all documentation.

The entire project was scrapped in 2004, as a compact-enough power source could not be found. Cardan, one future stalker, was one of contractors involved in its development, as a designer.

The project that eventually birthed the Gauss rifle focused on creating weapons based on the principle of projectile acceleration via an electromagnetic field. The first designs for the rifle came from a covert weapons research program in the Chernobyl Zone of Exclusion, before the Zone even came into being.
