The '''Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle''' is a variation on the [[Gauss rifle]] developed by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] in [[3068]]. Hoping to stay ahead of the increasing technological curve, they apparently used similar design principles to the [[Lyran Alliance]]'s [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]]. To compensate for its drawbacks, however, Horse scientists used a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs.  The resulting high rate of fire, akin almost to [[Rotary Autocannon]]s, made these weapons very effective against [[battle armor]] and [[Combat Vehicle]]s.<ref name="TMp219">''TechManual'', p. 219, "Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle"</ref>

The '''HAG 40''' is the largest and most deadly of the HAG series.
+
Unlike some other weapons using cluster munitions, there is no modifier on the initial attack roll. However, when a hit is scored, a Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle receives a +2 modifier at short range and a –2 modifier at long range on the Cluster Hits table. Damage location is then determined in 5-point groups plus any remainder below 5 being the final roll.<ref> ''Total Warfare'', p. 136</ref>

 +
The '''HAG 40''' is the largest and most deadly of the HAG series and also has the highest Battle Value of any weapon able to be mounted on a BattleMech.
