- HAAS
The GWS is striving to imprint and include their newly developed HAAS into more and more weapon models. Ever since the success, they have seen from the creation of the Tachyon Assaulter gun, the possibilities to include such systems to other weapons has become an unprecedented number and an ever-growing one. - The HAAS system makes uses of somewhere between one to six small and minuscule electronic optical units that allows the weapon to pinpoint enemies. These military analyzer systems have a very small range of sight. If a circle were to be drawn on a piece of paper and the gun was represented as a straight line at the end of the circle, this line would only contain within its line of sight a thirty-degree angle. The combat optics only have a very frontal viewpoint, not being able to turn to the sides due to protective metal coverings and the lack of being able to automatically turn the gun in any direction as they are not in control of the gun's operator.
- When the optics happen across any enemy, the barrel of the rifle will shift in the slightest of degree and movements to aim directly onto the target which the optics caught onto. Once caught onto and aimed onto the target, the weapon can automatically vibrate against the gun operator's finger on the trigger to notify the user that the HAAS is locked onto a target and is ready and operational to fire. Though the HAAS has a much more effective way of utilizing its functionality in the gun. The system is toggleable between a 'Manual Fire' and 'Automatic Fire' mode for the HAAS. The manual fire sends a vibration to the trigger of the rifle. The automatic fire will automatically pull the metal trigger inwards to autonomously fire the gun onto an enemy instead of relying on user-integrated support. This function can, of course, be toggled on or off according to a user's preference.

- The GWS had enough rifles and heavy weapons. What they lacked, however, in the weapons department, were 'small arms' They lacked the overly useful and widely versatile weapons-set of small weapons, specifically in the department of anti-personnel weapons, pistols. The Courier-19 is such an attempt to try and circumvent this lack in military resources that the GWS currently has at this time. Like most recently created weapons, the Courier has the HAAS system to help with target acquisition with enemies located in close range where it would take too long to fully aim down sites, instead, the HAAS makes uses of an advanced hip-fire aim assistance system to circumvent these type of scenarios and issues. This slugthrower handgun is useful at taking out lightly armored personnel, however, with anything else, it is difficult for the weapon to make effective use of taking them out and disabling them.
