i dont thing we actually see this gun, because the lightning stream was coming from behind the guy with the grenade launcher. And it looks like it may just be a single shot. Maybe sniper rifle? If so, its not one shot kill.

I think its no so much a lack of power but a lack of accuracy. Most of the shots missed the target, but when they actually hit, it seemed to do some damage. A master of that weapon might be able to do some harm. (Notice the oneshotkill towards the middle of the vid)

This weapon also sees alot of use during the video and a strange halo seems to appear above the enemy's head when being hit by this. Unfortunately I think that might be a gameplay element as a standard rifle has the same effect at another time. Another possibility is that it is an armor ability given to the player. As for the weapon itself it looks to pack a bit of a punch, good rate of fire and manageable recoil.

yea that blue thing above everybody has to be something generic, and not specifically from that gun. Maybe you only see that for automatic weapons? And like you said, it could be another special ability, although alot of players seemed to have it. Another thing i noticed was the blue thing only shows up on the zerglings.

Comes with a zoom function, slow rate of fire and an interesting model design. Something that may or may not be part of the weapon itself is the infra red view. An aspect of Huxley that I was eagerly awaiting more information on. But as for the weapon itself it looks to be either an accurate slow ROF rifle or our first glimpse of one of Huxley's sniper rifles.

This could most definatly be a sniper rifle. one thing i noticed was, the infered turned on before looking into the scope, so this could be yet another special ability. It seemed to do some damage on the plane, so could maybe have an anti armor bullet as well? btw, that particle effect was neat.

Seems to be a generic rifle, nothing too special. The drum magazines on the underside lead me to believe that it will be a useful thinning weapon for waves of zerglings.

This could be one of the first weapons you acquire. It has minimal damage, but does look like it could get annoying on the recieving end.

Shortly after the cam is on the recieving end of some larger missiles that DO have quite a spread as the person in 3rd view feels.

This gun seems to be for armor only, cause it seemed to do minimal damage to the guy in third person, but i may be wrong because we saw the same amount being shot at the plane, so who knows.

im sure they will have shotguns
One gun that was missed was an automatic weapon being shot by a hybrid in third person.
Here is a pic:
