Boron Railgun is a weapon introduced in Ultimate Omelette, and your starting weapon in that game. It's the successor of the Vulcan Chaingun. It has a weaker version, known as the Moron Railgun.
Strategy
It accelerates superheated metalloid chunks faster than anything else. The firerate at the beginning is decent, and it speeds up with increasing power levels. Projectiles travel extremely fast, but their spread is limited to strictly forward-only. Manual fire isn't any better than automatic fire, so you'll have to watch out for Overheating.
It's available from Chapter 1 in Ultimate Omelette, and from Chapter 4 in Cluck of the Dark Side.
In Universe, it's unlocked from Tier ?.
