EM weapons
Electratech have been the pioneering developer of EM (electromagnetic) projectile weapons and were the first producer of viable gauss (coilgun) personal weapons.

The technology is still relatively new and expensive, but offers numerous advantages over conventional chemical explosive propellant. Gauss weapons from small personal weapons to large vehicle mounted devices and are typically orientated towards low caliber rapid fire weapons suited for use against personnel up to light vehicles.

These weapons are actively being fielded by their own security troops and by some military and corporate forces.

Electratech's involvement in railgun development for battleship or tank primary weaponry is relatively limited as the technology predates the incorporation of Electratech.
