Further note, the NC6 Gauss SAW has average TTK for NC automatic weapon. Same as the NC1 Gauss Rifle, EM6, same as the Mercenary before 45 meters. NC6 Gauss SAW has a very high vertical recoil, and it's slow recoil decrease does not help in situations where weapons that fire fast and have lower vertical recoil goes against you. The Gauss SAW fires slower than you might think. A person with equal skill in vertical recoil compensation will always do better with a weapon with lower vertical recoil doing burst after burst. It isn't just the slow firing that is punishing about the Gauss SAW, it's a slow weapon to recenter you aim. NC Gauss SAW gets a .4675 vertical recoil with a compensator, the EM6 gets a .3835 with a compensator. Gauss SAW might do higher damage, but the EM6 is faster to recenter after each burst. EM6 wins in that department. What the Gauss SAW really has is superior horzontal recoil, and better cone of fire for the first 3 shots. It's mostly geared to medium-long range combat.

Orion, and T9 Carv is much better at 30 meters than the Gauss SAW.
