This weapon uses an Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor to produce a bipolar magnetic field capable of launching a 25mm x 130 projectile at hyper-sonic velocities<ref>[http://assets.xbox.com/en-US/GameManuals/Halo2_Manual_HumanNA.pdf Halo 2 Game Manual], Page 12</ref><ref>''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'', Page 57</ref>. The great velocity of the projectile is the key to the stopping power and performance of the Gauss cannon, giving it exceptional armor penetration. | This weapon uses an Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor to produce a bipolar magnetic field capable of launching a 25mm x 130 projectile at hyper-sonic velocities<ref>[http://assets.xbox.com/en-US/GameManuals/Halo2_Manual_HumanNA.pdf Halo 2 Game Manual], Page 12</ref><ref>''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'', Page 57</ref>.

In ''[[Halo 2]]'', this version of the [[Warthog]] seems to have replaced the M12A1 LAAV version of the Warthog, which featured a triple barreled rocket launcher. That version became problematic due to the prodigious reload time necessary for the launchers. In [[Halo 3 ODST]] there appears to be a gauss cannon turret. | In ''[[Halo 2]]'', this version of the [[Warthog]] seems to have replaced the M12A1 LAAV version of the Warthog, which featured a triple barreled rocket launcher.
