Rifle bullets are usually about 1,200 mph (super sonic speed) Light kind of sort of in a weird 'timey wimey wibbly wobbley way', has mass, too.sort of.or mostly notįallout 4's 'gauss gun' is either a 'coil gun' or a 'rail gun', presumably a coil gun using magnets by description.īoth use electromagnetism to accelerate metal slugs to *hyper* sonic speeds Strictly speaking, electricity, that is ELECTRONS, do have mass Bethesda is involved in both games so odds are they were behind that one.

No one said anything about ripping anything off. Electricity has mass as well as it is energy, also physical. That's a very uneducated accusation you have there. Just because they look slightly similar (and honestly they both remind me more of a Bentusi ship from Homeworld than anything else) doesn't really make for a rip-off.Īnd besides that Doom's being published by Bethesda so there's no risk of copyright infringement anyway (if there was, it would all be sorted out internally between Bethesda and id Software ages ago). The Tesla Gun's shots also arc to nearby targets, which the Gauss does not to. The Tesla Gun in Fallout 4 fires raw lightning bolts - a Gauss Rifle has an actual, phsical projectile in it. It pulls back the 2nd set of coils to create a Gauss rifle effect. Originally posted by Doom1991:They are both high velocity if you pay attention to the charging barrel's animation.
