Er, a gauss rifle will definitely produce a report. If the projectile is
supersonic, it'll produce a sonic boom. And, it WILL produce a heat
signature, as the projectile will still produce friction. Of course, if you
want to detect gauss firing, a magnetometer would work just fine, to detect
the huge electrical discharge that accompanies firing.

Mmmmmm, gauss rifles. *drool* That would be so perfect for a sniper. No
report, no muzzle flash to give away your position, next to no recoil. Not
even a heat signature from a hot barrel to give it away. I want one!

I practice at the range, maintain the weapons, and practice responsible
ownership. But I couldn't tell you anything about a gun by looking at it.
Now, bikes, on the other hand...

majority of this shit is gonna be made up. The specs would list stuff like
weight, length, ammunition, range, accessories, etcetera. Nothing too
in-depth.
