"This rate of fire is still a bit too slow!" Mo Tuo looked at the Gauss Rifle in his hand, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face.
He shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Although it's a clear improvement over the Plasma Pistol's rate of fire, for us Space Marines, it's still far from ideal."
As a Space Marine, Mo Tuo possessed neural reaction speed and physical agility far beyond those of ordinary people. Yet the Gauss Rifle before him could fire only twenty rounds per minute, a speed that was truly too slow for him.
By comparison, the Ripper Rifle could fire three thousand rounds per minute at its limit. Its astonishing rate of fire made it the weapon of choice for Space Marines.
Although the Gauss Rifle possessed powerful disintegration capabilities and could easily break down sturdy ceramite armor into fine particles, it often struggled to display its advantages against equally agile enemies.
The Ripper Rifle, meanwhile, not only had a terrifying rate of fire but also excellent armor-piercing power. Even if a single round could not penetrate an enemy's armor, Space Marines could fire several rounds in rapid succession within just 0.3 seconds with their astonishing reflexes, quickly killing their opponents.
"Energy weapons are all like that." Tina replied to Mo Tuo, "The more powerful an energy weapon is, the slower its rate of fire will be. Otherwise, the energy supply unit can easily overheat and cause an explosion."
She knew full well that the flaw Mo Tuo had pointed out did exist, but for now, there was little that could be done about it. Even the great Lord of the Stars could only improve the Gauss Rifle to this extent. Giving it a rate of fire like the Ripper Rifle's was practically
