Jacketed in steel, with a depleted uranium core, these extra-dense, cylindrical projectiles wreak havoc upon anything unfortunate enough to be in the way, flesh or metal. The cartridge is rapidly spun in the chamber, a small explosive "kicker" charge is activated to begin the launch, and then the round is electromagnetically accelerated to full speed in the barrel of the firearm. Stabilized in flight with fins integrated into the core of the projectile, Gauss rounds have effective ranges much further than other firearms technologies.

Gauss weapons as a category can be used to describe two styles of weapons: railguns, and coilguns.

Railguns require contact between the projectile and two rails, and a current is passed through them, accelerating the projectile to absurd velocities.

Coilguns, however, fire a depleted uranium projectile jacketed in steel. When triggered, a small "kicker" charge is activated to begin the launch, and then the round is electromagnetically accelerated to full speed in the barrel of the firearm. Stabilized in flight with fins integrated into the core of the projectile, these are exceptionally accurate even over long distances.

An evolution of Robustelli's sporting shotguns, upgraded with the technology of the future. This shotgun takes the same 23x75mmR pulse shells as similar offerings from [[Apex Arms]], however it uses them to greater effect by magnetically aligning and accelerating the pellets down the barrel, like their other [[Gauss weapons|gauss guns]].

Although it's been debated whether this technology is truly necessary for what is already a potent cartridge, Robustelli claims it is perfectly in line with their heritage of precision weapons.

The 'ND' is Italian for "Nuvola d'acciaio", meaning "cloud of steel", a name which Robustelli shotguns had maintained for nearly 700 years by the time of this model's release. The ND-68 was a particularly controversial upgrade as it marked the transition to the hybrid [[Gauss weapons|gauss]]-[[Pulse weapons|pulse]] design the newer ND models are known for. Before that point, the line was entirely either traditional 12-gauge, or later 23mm, shotguns with no electronic components. To appeal to the purists who opposed the newer style, Robustelli produced the SV-69, a final traditional design that continues to be produced to this day in smaller numbers.
