I like it! But I think you may be calculating with an excessive projectile weight. That 1t/8rds probably includes the feed mechanisms and the magazine structure itself. If we assume 50% of that weight is structure and 50% is ammo, then the Gauss rifle's per-round weight is halved, and so is its kinetic energy. This, in turn, should put an Abrams' silver bullet around 10 points of damage.

(Of course, all of this may be horribly wrong due to low blood caffeine levels.)
