    The heck does this one do? “RAW” is generic enough that it turned out to be hard to search for, heh

      “Rifleman’s Assault Weapon”.

      Documentation is pretty spotty. The publicly available stuff tends to be corporate marketing material which is written by people who might not fully understand the technical aspects and/or are fudging or intentionally simplifying.

      The overview is that it’s a rifle launched multi-mode munition for the M16.
