The Scorpion railgun was a prototypical mass driver developed by Han Industries Ltd.^[1] shortly before the First Tiberium War. It was an inefficent, but extremely powerful weapon, and a few early models were in the possession of General Gideon Raveshaw. It fired 30mm Torque rounds at extreme velocities, essentially transforming the rounds into plasma.

The round had a devastating effect on enemy infantry and armor alike, but had issues with heat emission and sound (both of which were to a degree compensated by a type 175 suppressor (made in ROK, Republic of Korea) which reduced the sound by 50 decibels) as well as long reload times.

After the war, GDI confiscated the research and reengineered it, introducing new and improved GDI series of railguns.
