>but it doesn't have splash damage???
It's an invisible explosion caused at the exit point of the beam fanning out in all directions and through walls.
The code for the gun is available in the HLSDK.
Also, it's a particle beam weapon, the DU ammo and "gauss" filenames are leftovers from before they were changed, DU isn't even a fuel source but Valve forgot what "depleted" means.
What pisses me off is not really how powerful it is but rather that it is never explained anywhere in the game, I found out when I put research into how peruvian children constantly manage to kill me without LOS.
People should talk about Half-Life more often.
