So i want to share my Silver Bullet GR house rule Wink

We didn't want to have just another LB-X cluster style ammo and didn't need another individual weapon for this.
So we made "Silver Bullet" an additional ammo type for the standard GR and changed the way it works.
We made the individual submunition "bigger":
The GR with "Silver Bullet" ammo rolls on the 5 column of the cluster hits table with each hit doing 3 points of damage.
The GR is now able to switch ammo and gets -1 to hit and flak-ability with this ammo (the last two are still somewhat debated in our group).

We now are transfering that to all other gauss weapons:

The HGR uses the 5 column with 5 points of damage per hit.
The iHGR uses the 4 column with 5 points of damage per hit.
The LGR uses the 4 column with 2 points of damage per hit.
The Magshot has 1D6 infantry damage and no damage against armored (including Battle Armor) units similar to the clan AP-gauss rifle.

What du you think of that?

I don't know, I like the Gausses working the way they are. But that's just me. Smile

This isn't the Gauss, its the gauss variant from unbound or some such book. it a gauss weapon that worked like a LBX cannon but eliminated the solid shot. I never understood why it was its own separate weapon system instead of an ammo option.

Yes, it was originally from the Outbound book but there is an updated version in Tactical Operations. I didn‘t like it either way and thought an optional ammo type would be a much better solution.

We have more than enough different weapon types. Ammo options are much more easily tested.
