Nanotechnology, as well as graviton and starship technology were introduced to Earth by Argus Incorporated, and changed its face and how humankind lived and ultimately evolved. While Nanotechnology has seen dozens of different applications in medicine and daily life such as rapid cellular regeneration models, this weapon is the first attempt at weaponizing them. Something that is surprising, given the companies tenacity for turning virtually everything they touch into weapons.
Dubbed the 'Atomic Adjacent Matter Converter', and the Nano Gun for brevity, the weapon has a single cylinder shaped object within the barrel that houses trillions of self-replicating Technocyte based nanites, and railguns hive-mind clusters, or 'hives' of them down-stream at railgun speeds via software that taps into the users own bioelectric current to facilitate the speeds while also serving as a power source. The same software that allows the user to transfer bioelectric energy to the weapon also allows the weapon to be psychoresponsive as well, allowing a target to be 'painted' by making visual contact with the target, or simply guiding the munitions telepathically.
The nanites take a psuedo-liquid state(think lava lamps), usually referred to simply as 'Grey' when fired, and when making contact with physical objects, immediately go to work self-replicating and 'infecting' said object(s), converting the physical matter into more of itself, resulting in most physical objects, be they living or nonliving, being converted into gelatinous puddles of similar grey goop that are still capable of being controlled telepathically after the initial conversion.
