Varies how heavy the gauss slug is and the muzzle velocity.  Assuming  the slugs are prefect spheres of tungsten (~81 grams), and the muzzle velocity is 1 kps, a gauss rifle generator produces 80 kW.  More, if the mechanism has inefficiencies.

Actually, thinking about it, how much energy would a battlesuit really drain? Some strong servos, cameras, speakers...
Can't be much more than the peak energy drain of a Gauss rifle.

I don't think so. Battlesuits are much more powerful, since they need to lift heavy armor and could probably lift a second battlesuit (or more if you remove the safeguards). Even if it is, gauss rifles function for just a moment. Battlesuits need to produce power continuously, so they use much more powerful pulse generators (like the ones gauss rifles use), feeding their output into a capacitor of gigantic capacity.

Don't Gauss rifles today require something like a small nuclear reactor to power them?

Yeah, I guess so, it just seems weird to me that a Battlesuit would require such an... Extreme power source.
Actually, did we ever specify what powered Battlesuits?

They run on Quantum Plot Reactors.

They run on Quantum Plot Reactors.

Like all batteries and generators in ER.

Yes! They work in many different ways and forms until they need to work a particular way to account for an overshoot/plan/whatever.

@Harry Baldman: Was that MkIII bought when the suit was costing 13 or 10 tokens?

[Toaster]

RP dogpile on Lars ho!

Quick, see if you can sneak in stealing his tokens as an action without him noticing!

It's been a while!

Might be hard since he's in a biogel tank.

Which means all your stuff is outside.

E: Looks like we know now who's "natural" at fighting.

Yeah but Milno's right there.

All the more why I would rather we exterminated Earth-2 with extreme prejudice.
Think about it: he's more of a threat than a Doctor is. That's certainly one man a planet chokeful of people is worth sacrificing to get at.

Hmmm. Kinetic strike or space magic-99?.. Or something in-between?..

Ooooh, I can hear Lars narrating something like Wh40k Exterminatus speech as the bombs drop.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

I won't deny, if my character ever gets to an end-game level, I am totally gonna challenge that bastard.

[Pancaek]

-snip-

I've always though we could use some more exterminatus in ER.

You'll lose.
