I was wondering that myself, and reached two conclusions:

1: It might be possible to design a gauss weapon that fired a subsonic 
round.	Those with more technical expertise will have to have the final
word 
on the feasability AND desireability of such.

2: Perhaps it's possible to develop a gauss round that was sleek and
narrow 
enough that it would not create much of a pressure cone.  That way, even
if 
there is a sonic boom, it would be reduced.

I dunno, just some thoughts.  Whaddaya think?
