Funny effect for a guass rifle, i always imagined it in my head to be more like a white shock wave sort of steak-in-the-air rather than having sparks and a line of bright blue circles.
Cool picture anyways.
Agreed. I thought those effects were the PPCs, not gauss. The floating donuts definitely look like...well I would have said an energy weapon, but I can't imagine any weapon ever making that. The new little Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon (yes, I Tivo that and I'm 38) had something similar for an ion cannon, but who knows. I would think that a gauss cannon would be similar to the MW4 thunderbolt missile, but much faster (basically a white-hot streak).
Edit: Actually in rethinking it I am thinking that "donut" is supposed to be something like a...shockwave? It probably looks better in motion. In a still shot it just looks like someone got carried away with the wave effect, making it look more like an energy weapon. It would be cool if the effect was slightly noticable as more of a transparent distorted shimmer, IMO.
