Gaussian Shotgun

Description
The Gaussian Shotgun was a weapon invented by Jason Smegg while the Blue Dwarf was stuck in an asteroid field.

It works by firing a spray of niobium magnets when its main superconducting coil was induced with a current. It was presumably turret sized as it was mounted to the hull of a Starbug.

Even though it initially backfired, it proved to be very effective at destroying the asteroids. It itself was destroyed when Kayn Bestrom crashed the Starbug it was fitted to.

Jason Smegg would later rebuild the Gaussian Shotgun and fit 360 around the Blue Dwarf.
