About the IRIS-MAW

The MAW (Mutagenic Assault Weapon) is a custom-made rifle that appears to be a oversized dart gun or sniper rifle. It was designed as a solution to power armor's effectiveness in screening chemical and biological agents. This is accomplished by having the shells bore through the exterior of the armor, upon reaching the interior releasing a payload while optionally continuing to bore until energy is depleted. The ammo designed for this purpose is the ibis_bore.
