It's nice to see the new snarkpit. The email feature is great for a guy like me who is only active in one thread. But i gotta say, I'm disappointed. I worked so hard to get my snarkmarks. And they are all gone now.
I was kiding man, we didnt know that."Nickelplate" said:I think he was being sarcastic?
Even the person who asked? And all the folks who answered with something other than what I said. Damn noobs.

Seriously, guys. It's not so hard.
Gluons are particles that react with quarks (subatomic particles) meaning that the gluon/egon probably works on that principle. Egon is the name of the guy in Ghostbusters who has a gun that looks exactly like that which sucks the ghosts into the ghost-traps.
Gluon is the scientific name and Egon is the slang around black mesa.
Gauss was a scientist who did a lot of work with magnets and electrostatic charges, Tau is a greek letter, in keeping with the naming scheme of many things Black Mesa such as Lambda Complex. A Tau Lepton is also a subatomic particle, but i doubt that this gun has anything to do with it.
Hi, BTW.
