The gauss rifle is basically a cycler w/ a 30 round clip, better damage, slightly less accurate less ROF and greater kick.
The two rifles are very well balanced. Just remember the kick of the gauss and you'll rack up the kills.

Heh, the Guass has a tighter CoF and recoil than the Cycler. Also, it's better at long ranges. The Cycler is great at short range because you can full auto and hit that way. All other times the Guass is better. More powerful and less recoil make it a far better gun at anything but short range.
