Shot type:
Gauss-propelled 7.62x75mm Depleted Uranium Dart Sabot. Unlike Plasma weapons, which generally have very little feedback, this Gauss rifle has a large amount of kick. If not properly braced, the user can easily be knocked off balance and possibly to the ground.
Ammunition Storage:
12-round Box magazine. The 12 round box magazine detaches via a button on the side of the gun, allowing for easy removal to reload the Magazine. The Magazine can be reloaded when partially full.
As a Gauss Rifle, the RGSR uses two standard batteries placed in sockets on either side of the barrel to provide power to the magnetic coils. It may be fired with one battery, but will only have half the power. The RGSR can fire a maximum of 48 Sabot rounds before the batteries need to be replaced.
The RGSR has a power feed socket on the bottom of the handgrip, allowing a beltpack battery to be utulized. the Beltpack allows for up to 100 shots to be fired before neeing to be replaced or recharged.
Features:
HUD-linked scope: with 20x Optical zoom and 200 times Digital zoom, the Linked scope helps add quite a bit to the rifle's effective range. In order to utilize the RGSR's maximum range, however, a spotter with special sighting equipment is required.
Ironsights: integrated into the scope rail is a set of backup ironsights. not much use at longer range, they are still useful for short-range engagements if the scope is damaged or lost.
Cocking handle: the RGSR has an Ambidextrous cocking handle that brings a round from the magazine and into the chamber, as well as readying the batteries to fire. the RGSR can fire as fast as its user can cycle this handle.
Telescoping Stock: The RGSR's stock is capable of telescoping to accomodate a variety of users and firing positions.
Integral Bipod: there is an Integral bipod attached to the front of the forward grip. This Bipod may be folded forward to keep it out of the way, or folded down to help brace the gun for more accurate firing.
