==Description==
A 'Mech-sized version of the [[Magshot Gauss rifle]] introduced on the [[Infiltrator Mk. II]] battle armor, the '''Magshot''' was tested on several [[:Category:Solarian BattleMechs|Solaris arena 'Mechs]] before being accepted by the [[AFFS]] in [[3072]]. The delay in the approval of the Magshot was due to a court case between [[Johnston Industries]] and [[Federated-Barrett]]. Federated-Barrett believed that a [[General|general]] in the AFFS' Department of the Quartermaster had leaked the plans for their Magshot Gauss rifle to Johnston in exchange for employment after retirement and other "considerations." These plans, and Johnston's hiring of the design team away from Federated-Barrett, resulted in a five year industrial espionage trial. Between the start of this trial in [[3061]] and its conclusion in [[3066]], Johnston was limited to selling the weapon to private concerns (like the Solaris stables), and the Department of the Quartermaster couldn't accept the weapon into service.<ref name="TOp314"/><ref name="HB:HDp171">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 171, "Just Business"</ref>

Like its [[Gauss rifle|larger cousin]], if the Magshot is hit by enemy fire its capacitors will explode and damage the unit carrying it. Fortunately the smaller size and power storage capacity of the Magshot makes this explosion less damaging than the full-sized Gauss rifle.
