My answer to your railgun.

THIS, is the Gauss gun.
It uses magnetic coils around the barrel that reverse polarity when the projectile passes each one.
It does not use electrified rails like the rail gun.
The projectile is a depleted uranium core surrounded by steel (to allow the magnets to actually pull the projectile, as uranium is not magnetic)
This gun is much more reliable than the railgun and has the potential to be even more powerful.
However, it requires a HUGE amount of power, which is supplied by a fission battery made of enriched uranium.
When the battery dies, it is turned into projectiles for the Gauss gun.
The speed of the projectile?
Hypersonic. EAT IT CAPTAIN COMMUNIST!
What if I run out of ammo for my Gauss?

Enter the shotgun sidearm.
Only 3.5 pounds empty, this compact blaster is awesome in close range combat.
It uses the smaller 20 gauge shells to allow use as a pistol. (12 gauge would send you reeling with the stock folded in)
If you still can't handle the recoil, just fold the stock out.
6 round magazine, buckshot for close range, slugs for long range, and the new "taser in a shotgun shell" system for non-lethal applications.
Now then, what if you can't aim?

Try this bad boy on for size.
It is a simple LMG, that can fire over 7,200!
It uses the metal storm tube system but it has an auto-loader for it.
The bullets inside the tubes can fire at 1,000,000 rpm in bursts.
Each tube holds 12 bullets.
The gun has 4 settings, safe, burst, slow auto, and fast auto.
Burst is 3 rounds at 1,000,000 rpm, meaning that the 3 bullets are out of the barrel by the time the gun recoils!
Slow auto is 600 rpm (this includes the tube reload time)
Fast auto is... 600 TUBES per minute which equals 7,200 rpm!
The odd looking electronics? Ventilation system so the barrel doesn't melt when firing at fast auto.
And if you need to take someone out?
When they're behind cover?

The XM27 HEABS (High Explosive AirBurst System)
Based on the failed XM29 OICW and the unpopuler 13mm gyrojet rocket propelled bullets.
Uses a built-in sensor on the bottom (the grenade launcher with the circle) in order to send data back to the rangefinder for quick target acquisition.
Fires High Explosive, Airburst, rocket propelled 7.62 cartridges.
Can I buy one for Deacon?
Closest thing I could find.

I know you're joking, but still.
