The Gauss cannon (also "Item No. 62") is a sniper rifle that uses an electromagnet system powered by the energy of the Flash artifact to disperse a bullet. High accuracy, kill rate and almost complete absence of recoil, along with a fairly low rate of fire (after the shot, the capacitors need a few seconds to accumulate a new charge) characterize it as the best sniper rifle in the Zone, but it is extremely difficult to find this rifle in the vastness of the Zone — only a few rifles can be found in PM, and in ZP it is a unique weapon.
