AX90-DAC

The AX90-DAC is a standard issue armament for the AEGIS Research Division alongside the M412 REX. While one would often consider these weapons sidearms, due to the AEGIS Research Division's areas of operations, combative capabilities are not always necessary, and if they are, it is usually within the facility or an enclosed area such as Zone 14.
The AX90-PDW, a previous iteration of the weapon, was designed by the AEGIS Research Division in 2070 due to growing anti-AEGIS sentiment both domestically and abroad, the AX90 saw its trials and manufacturing expedited after the release and success of the G14-B assault rifle. The AX90-PDW was designed primarily to give members of the AEGIS Research Division the means to defend themselves within close quarter combat. It was withdrawn from service and replaced by the AX90-DAC in 2170.
