	~~Prior~~ to the Sonic ~~weapons~~, the ~~Heavy~~ Gauss ~~makes a good early-game replacement for~~ the ~~Gas Cannon's armour piercing role. This leaves the Gas Cannon free to work with high explosive or phosphor rounds~~.		The Heavy Gauss is generally considered a poor weapon, due to being outclassed by the weapons around it. The [[Sonic Pistol]] and [[Sonic-Blasta Rifle]] have better power, accuracy, weight and clip size. Worse, its prerequisite the [[Gauss Rifle]] is only slightly less powerful, and fires three times as fast with the same accuracy.

	The Heavy Gauss is a slow but powerful ~~cannon~~ that deals Gauss damage. It is Gauss technology~~'s answer to the~~ [[Gas Cannon]] with GC-AP rounds.		The Heavy Gauss, or Heavy Gauss Cannon, is a slow but powerful weapon that deals Gauss damage. It is the Gauss technology near equivalent of a [[Gas Cannon]] armed with GC-AP rounds.

	The Heavy Gauss closely matches the Gas Cannon in performance, although snapshots are less accurate and aimed shots are slower. In return, it has greater stopping power and a slightly larger ammunition supply.		The Heavy Gauss closely matches the Gas Cannon in performance, although snapshots are less accurate and aimed shots are slower. In return, it has greater stopping power and a slightly larger ammunition supply. Weapon weight is slightly increased while clip weight is decreased.

	~~While a formidable weapon in its own right, the Heavy~~ Gauss ~~does not curry much favour amongst many X-COM players for a large number of reasons. Though they are beyond the scope of this article~~, ~~the most common reason is probably the huge performance disparity of~~ the Heavy Gauss ~~against the Sonic weapons~~ and its ~~[[Gauss Rifle\|predecessor]]~~.		As with all Gauss weapons, the Heavy Gauss and its ammunition can be easily mass produced as they do not require any exotic materials for construction.

	~~To its credit,~~ the Heavy Gauss is ~~easy and relatively cheap~~ to ~~manufacture and does not need exotic materials. It is a necessary stepping stone for~~ the highly profitable craft [[Gauss Cannon]].		Research for the Heavy Gauss is required to access the highly profitable craft [[Gauss Cannon]].
