Talk:AGR-14 rifle

Admittedly this article is making a few assumptions, linking all the terms together. I suppose it's possible that the AGR-14, Assault Rifle and AGR-14 Gauss Rifle could be seperate weapons but this seems unlikely. The one issue though is the larger rifle that Nova wields, notably in the SC: Ghost intro. On one hand, it's far bulkier and has a different structure than the main image. On the other, it's mentioned in Firstborn somewhere that "Rosemary" looked...when she wasn't looking down the barrell of her rifle (or something like that). Looking down the barell could be a reference to a scope, but is still odd use of terminology. She almost certainly wasn't using the same weapon as Nova in the image, given her figure. Speaking of images, it's probably best if an image of Nova wielding it in the SC: Ghost Intro could be obtained; somewhere around. the 5:35 mark I don't know how to/can't extract images from vidoes. ^_^

Alternatively, the AGR-14 Assault Rifle and AGR-14 Gauss Rifle may be seperate weapons, as the info on magnetic acceleration comes from SoD; where it's also called a gauss rifle. AGR-14 may be absent from the assault rifle altogether. Still, it would seem redundant to have two weapons serving a smilar purpose. Speaking of SoD, the gun is mentioned as having huge kinetic punch. I've assumed that this may be referring to the rounds fired, but it could also refer to recoil. I'm no expert on firearms so I can't really tell.

Overall, I think it's best to treat these names as being for the same weapon. Still, thought it best to list the issues so that an informed decision could be made.--Hawki 09:57, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
