Which country was the first to use Gauss weapons during the Anchorage Campaign?

Based on this in-game Chinese propaganda poster from the Operation: Anchorage DLC, it looks like the PLA (People's Liberation Army) was actually the first to deploy the Gauss rifle in Alaska. Is that lore-accurate? Did the US military only start using Gauss tech after capturing and reverse-engineering Chinese models?
Imma try coming at this from assuming this is a real possible future. They have to figure out the energy density problem. Currently the capacitor tech we have now, is orders of magnitudes larger than the "rails" and projectiles, and because it's so high voltage the wild literally rips themselves apart, or if there's a slight problem, weld itself fucked. That is really the biggest technological hurdle we have currently. So if China gets super/mega capacitors, finding the chemistry wouldn't be too terrible hard. They already have the battery tech figured out with fusion cores, but it would take time to charge the capacitors so we're not going to be getting 100 + round per minute semi auto style firing.
was asking about the Fallout universe lore. I know that according to the lore, the Gauss rifle was invented by Germany. Which side was the first to use it on the Anchorage front? In theory, it should have been China, using the Gauss rifle as a way to counter power armor. But in the simulation, I didn't see a single Chinese soldier with a Gauss rifle. Only on the posters.
