WAR-17 ~ Multi-Frequency General Purpose Carbine
The WAR-17 is Wormia's replacement for the aging and terminally simply WAR-15 as the Federated Stellar Republics main offensive infantry weapon. The 17, also known as the "MultiGun," is also a Wormian military reply to a growing trend in modern militaries involving the usage and deployment of genetically-articulated military hardware.
The technology incorporated in the 17 rifle was available for usage by the Wormian military for use in the heralded era of the 15, however, the process of miniaturizing and battle-hardening the technology for war made it an economic disaster. Despite the cost, a select few of the little known WAR-16's were built and marketed, reputably successfully, to special forces within and outside of Wormia.
Not until harder, more data-capable crystalline integrated circuits came out were Wormian tactitians willing to explore the mass production of any rifle that would become the WAR-17. These came out roughly three years after the first WAR-16's had been produced, and the Wormian Infantry Weapons Corps was commissioned to explore the possibilities of such a rifle.

The end result was the WAR-17, "MultiGun." The weapon was designed ever so carefully with every aspect of it not being overlooked. There was a handguard for infantry gunners, but not so much of one that it hindered going prone. An electronic zoom scope calculates distance to target as well as probable kill worthy energy levels. It sports six fire modes, and it's beam consists of three electromagnetic energy frequencies to combat a wider range of enemies more efficiently.
The weapon is versatile, and can be used almost anywhere. It can operate as long as battery life permits underwater, in space, and can even function in a swath of high-concentrate acid for up to 36 hours. The ability to network with HUD capable EVA/Hazard Suits was incorporated in a wireless, or cable provided computer network that speaks most Andromedan and Milky Way computer languages.
The energy frequencies are openly set at large, medium, and small wavelengths for a broader range of disruptive and tissue shattering effects. The beams are essentially microwave, visible light (laser) and a gamma ray beam (Frequencies below). The frequencies working in unison provide effective offensive power against a wider range of species, the gamma rays dealing horrendous damage to living tissue, and the microwaves providing nuclear disruption, and the laser operating on it's use of heat.
