User:AdonisAleus/M808 Scorpion Gauss Tank

After the Human-Covenant war, humanity evaluated its weapon systems. quick to seize the importance of the use of Gaus weaponry during the battles for Earth and the battles elsewhere, a competition to build the first Gaus tank was fielded in 2555. Out of several entries, the planners choose a entry from the UNSC Tank corporation - one primarily based upon the versitilal M808 Scorpion tank. Working over the next several years on the tank saw an increase in Gaus arms designed for the tank. the orginal 25mm warthog mounted Gaus weapon was there, as well as a 30mm, 45mm, 60mm, 76mm, and a 100mm versions. After reveiwing their options, the planners choose the 76mm Gaus cannon, which had a good balance between power, Rate of Fire, energy comsumption, and weight.
