Per the mission statement of FWS, we are going to try to clear things up with the Gauss gun and exploring how a future military organization might deploy such a weapon. Often authors have featured Gauss guns, but often mix up the Gauss gun with the Rail gun.

These are nothing new in the realm of Sci-Fi, and continue to day to appear in sci-fi works, but the difference, is that military organization and companies are spending major R&D dollars to bring these weapons of the future into today. Besides the familiar laser blaster, there are weapons based on propelling sabots via magnetic fields. However, the majority of weapons on the battlefield are the same or very similar to weapons used forty years ago. But, what realistic weapons will our soldiers of the future be using? Many wrongly assumed that combat in the 21st century would be fought with laser blasters and nuclear weapons. Everything from plasma rifles in a 40 watt range to mythical laser swords. Combat in science fiction is often fought with a variety of weaponry.
