Semi-OT: Do Gauss Rifles Kick?
I call this thread "semi-OT" because in 30-50 years time or so, gauss rifles may be a standard infantry weapon...
For those who have never been able to play Traveller, a gauss rifle is a personal-sized electromagnetic railgun. My question is: would a gauss rifle kick? If so, would it kick less or more than a similar-caliber rifle of today? Would a recoil dampener be easier to make for a gauss rifle?
