I don't think I've ever seen a Gauss gun fire lasers though, it's just a fancy name for a railgun.

because nikola tesla is a badman and you will never understand what he created.

because the CIA took all his notes when he died.

Tesla is a popular meme among losers. Le classy handsome misunderstood true genius who disregarded the women that wanted him to invent great things that were stolen from him by the dumb jock Thomas "Chad" Edison. Loser gayhmurs, redditors and epic 4chan bros love this story because it's "undeniable proof" how the good, intelligent and talented always finish last behind the dumb chads.

Gauss guns use coils that accelerate projectiles gradually as they pass through them. Railguns use electricity and magnets to pre-accelerate still projectiles, then launch them away instently.

Nah, but seriously, Tesla wasn't much of a genius compared to his peers. He just took existing ideas and combined them together.

It's like praising Naughty Dog for Uncharted 4. Yea, it's impressive on some levels, but wouldn't exist without pre-existing code. Let's not get carried away.
>>
>>334493060
>Muh ideas
Tesla took existing ideas, combined with his own and made them into something actually usable, i.e. actual inventions. His knowledge of how to take them off the paper and into reality is what made him better than his peers.
>>
>>334493060
>It's like praising Naughty Dog for Uncharted 4. Yea, it's impressive on some levels, but wouldn't exist without pre-existing code.

So is that like praising Ford Motorcars for the Ford Mustang? "Yea it's impressive on some levels but it wouldn't exist without cave people inventing the wheel. Let's now get carried away."
