−	The [[NAIS]] developed the '''''Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle''''' (or '''''SB Gauss''''') in an attempt to bring the functionality of an [[LB-X Autocannon]] to the [[Gauss rifle]]. Though the cluster-like ammunition made it easier to hit a target<ref name="TOp406"/> and was particularly effective in the anti-aircraft role, unlike the LB-X family, the Silver Bullet couldn't fire standard Gauss Rifle ammunition. The Silver Bullet also couldn't benefit from a [[Targeting Computer]]. These drawbacks, coupled with the weapon's high cost and relative fragility of the ammunition feeds, made the weapon very unpopular with [[MechWarrior]]s. The [[Federated Commonwealth]] canceled the project in [[3051]].<ref name="TOp314+"/>	+	The [[NAIS]] developed the '''''Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle''''' (or '''''SB Gauss''''') in an attempt to bring the functionality of an [[LB-X Autocannon]] to the [[Gauss Rifle]].
