According to website,
Highly compact single-piece system ideal for dismounted and covert operations.
What kind of projectile does this shoot?
Not projectile, radio frequencies. More like a jamming/blocking device than a firearm.
I'm wondering if this class of devices counts as the first man portable directed energy weapon fielded in combat. There have been laser weapons that were ship or shore based. I think even some that have been some experimental plasma weapons that are truck mounted. Through all of this though, no man portable...until now?
Think of it as a directional electronic warfare gun
Definitely not a rifle. I might even call it a weapon instead since it's so far from projectile firearms the names imply.
