== Description ==
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.

<div class="gamerules">
=== Game Rules ===
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 on the Cluster Hits table at short range, and a –2 modifier at long range. Modified rolls above 12 or below 2 are treated as a 12 or 2 respectively. Damage location is then determined in 5-point groups plus any remainder below 5 being the final roll.<ref name="TWp136">''Total Warfare'', p. 136, "Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle"</ref>
