Rail Gun

Description
The Rail Gun is a pickup weapon that uses the orange ammo pool. It is a slim, scoped rifle that feeds from an internal four-round magazine. It sports a holographic scope consisting of a crosshair dot.

Mechanics
The rail gun is essentially a sniper rifle, firing an instant-impact, high-damage round that leave a trail when fired. The rifle is pinpoint precise and hits hard enough to kill most enemies in a single shot. It is semi-automatic with a respectable rate of fire, and is reloaded using clips which feed into the top. Like most clip-fed weapons, you do not need to press the eject button after it fires its last round, facilitating faster reloads.

Tactics
As one might expect, the rail gun excels at ranged combat, and packs a very hard punch, capable of dropping most enemies in one shot. While an accurate shooter can also make good use of it up close, its small magazine capacity means you have to make every shot count or be moving constantly to avoid being killed during a reload. The small ammo capacity also means that the total number of spare rounds you can carry is low, again forcing you to retain good accuracy to remain efficient.
