The AGR-14 is a terran 8 mm gauss assault rifle.[1][2][3]

It is capable of firing supersonic jacketless slugs that could tear through a human body. It made a very intimidating roar.[4]

[edit] History

The AGR-14 was used to train Confederate Marine Corps recruits[2] and old models existed as far back as 2478.[4]

The weapon became the standard issue weapon of ghosts after the Brood War.[3][5] It was also available to civilians and mercenaries; the AGR-14 was Rosemary Dahl's weapon of choice.[1]

[edit] Trivia

The AGR-14 has undergone a long and varied development over the course of the StarCraft universe. It first appeared in StarCraft: Speed of Darkness as the AGR-14 gauss rifle (as an unreliable memory portraying Ardo Melnikov's marine training). This may have been in preparation for the announcement of StarCraft: Ghost which occurred four months later. However, the AGR-14 did not appear in StarCraft: Ghost until a later build when it replaced the C-20A rifle in function. A year later in StarCraft: Ghost: Nova the AGR-14 was referred to as an assault rifle and this continued later in StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga: Firstborn and I, Mengsk.

It shares some predecessors in early gameplay of StarCraft: Ghost in the form of the C-20A rifle.
