Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

"The firing rate is still a bit slow!" Motuo looked at the Gauss rifle in his hand with a helpless look on his face.

He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Although the firing rate is significantly higher than that of the plasma pistol, it is still not ideal for us Space Marines."

As a Space Marine, Motuo possessed far superior reflexes and physical agility. However, the Gauss rifle before him could only fire twenty rounds per minute, a rate far too slow for him.

In contrast, the Ripper rifle can fire three thousand bullets per minute at its maximum speed. Such an astonishing rate of fire makes it the weapon of choice for Space Marines.

Although the Gauss rifle has a powerful decomposition ability and can easily break down solid ceramic armor into fine granular matter, it often fails to exert its advantages when facing equally agile enemies.

The Ripper rifle not only has a terrifying rate of fire, but also boasts exceptional armor-piercing capabilities. Even if a single bullet fails to penetrate an enemy's armor, thanks to the Space Marine's incredible reflexes, they can fire multiple bullets in just 0.3 seconds, effectively killing their opponent.

"All energy weapons are like this," Tina replied to Medog. "The more powerful the energy weapon, the slower the firing rate. Otherwise, it will easily cause the energy supply device to overheat and cause an explosion."

She knew full well that the shortcomings Medog had pointed out were real, but for now, the situation was difficult to change. Even the great Star Lord could only improve the Gauss Rifle to this level. To achieve the same rate of fire as the Ripper Rifle was practically impossible.

Every weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it's impossible to achieve perfection. If you try to achieve the ultimate in perfection, the resulting flaws will become unbearable.

Therefore, the user can only achieve the most ideal effectiveness by fully utilizing the strengths of the weapon in his hand.

Medog nodded in understanding. "I see. It seems Gauss rifles can only be equipped in small quantities by Space Marines to maximize their effectiveness."

He agreed with Tina's point of view and realized that in actual application, it is necessary to formulate tactical strategies based on the characteristics of the weapon. Although the Gauss rifle has great power, it must be used with caution due to its slow rate of fire to ensure its effectiveness in combat.

At the same time, we also need to consider how to reasonably allocate resources so that Space Marines can make full use of this advanced weapon and improve their overall combat effectiveness.

It is impossible for all Space Marines to be equipped with Gauss rifles. Although the power of Gauss rifles is terrifying, if all Space Marines are equipped with them, they will not be able to quickly eliminate the opponents when encountering a large number of enemies, and it will only slow down the Space Marines' combat rhythm.

John, standing nearby, listened to the conversation between Medog and Tina. He stroked his beard and, after thinking for a moment, offered a suggestion: "I think we could consider equipping combat robots with a large number of Gauss rifles."

Hearing John's suggestion, Tina and Motuo both turned their eyes to him at the same time.

Motuo asked with great interest: "John, tell me your specific ideas."

John coughed twice to moisten his throat, then slowly spoke, "Think about it, combat robots are not afraid of being injured, let alone dying. Even if their bodies are damaged, the intelligent AI can upload the data to the terminal, return to base, replace the mechanical body, and rejoin the battle.

Therefore, if these combat robots are equipped with Gauss rifles in large numbers, it will bring unexpected results."

After saying this, John paused, looked around, and found that all the senior officers were focusing their attention on him.

So, he continued to explain: "Think about it, these combat robots are not afraid of casualties at all. Equipped with a large number of Gauss rifles, they can launch a death charge without hesitation.

This will allow them to launch attacks against enemy lines, wreaking havoc and allowing our soldiers to easily penetrate them."

"That's a good suggestion." Tina praised.

"You must have borrowed this from the Undead Dynasty!" Motuo looked at John in surprise.

"Yes, that's the Necromancer Dynasty's combat mode. When the Necromancer's mechanical body is damaged, they can have the scarab repair the body, or directly replace it with a new mechanical body.

Moreover, since the undead of the Undead Dynasty all have mechanical bodies and are not afraid of injury or death, they do not care about the slow firing rate of the Gauss rifle.

But we humans can’t do that; when we die, we’re truly dead.”

Facing Motuo's surprised look, John answered Motuo frankly and expressed his thoughts.

"Although your idea is inspired by the Undead, I will report this idea to the Lord of the Stars."

Tina didn't care whether John borrowed from the undead or not. As long as someone could make reasonable suggestions, Tina would record the information in detail and report it to the Lord of the Stars.

When the Lord of Stars accepts these suggestions, he will naturally reward those who make reasonable suggestions.

"You kid got lucky, why didn't I think of it?" Motuo couldn't help but pat John on the shoulder and praised him happily.

"Hiss!" John couldn't help but grimace as he felt the force of Medog's slap. He quickly argued, "Captain Medog, it was just luck, luck."

Motuo, whose body has been strengthened twice, possesses terrifying strength that is not comparable to John, who has only been strengthened once. Facing the palm of Motuo's hand, he can only beg for mercy.

"I'm complimenting you." Motuo stopped patting John's shoulder. Motuo also knew that his strength was not something an ordinary Space Marine could withstand, so he stopped patting John's shoulder.

After Tina carefully wrote down John's suggestion, she once again took out an eye-catching gun from the huge box.

The appearance of this gun is extremely strange. Its muzzle has a rare trumpet shape, as if it is a product from an unknown world.

The surface of the gun was wrapped with dense coils, making it look particularly rough and powerful, which was very different from everyone's traditional impression of the Lord of the Stars.

What is even more eye-catching is that there is a huge energy supply device installed in front of the trigger, like a shining pearl, which can continuously inject powerful energy into the firearm, making it a weapon with devastating power.
