I did a bit of googling and came up with the RevoLix Continuous Wave surgical laser. http://www.lisalaserusa.com/products/revolix-jr-continuous-wave-surgical-laser/revolix-junior-more-info/. I wonder if one of the developers asked a doctor what the name of the laser they use in surgery is called.

i kinda heard through the graqevine that it was suppose to be CRW (close range weapon), but it was misspelled and just kept that way. :lol:

My guess would be a "resonance coil weapon" which I think was something http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla was rumoured to be working on.

This one would definitely get my vote too.

It's the kind of game that would give such a 'nod' to Tesla, who so richly deserves it

Good call. I would think this the most plausible option given the heavy influence of Niko Tesla on FO lore. While looking up information about a resonance coil weapon I discovered this PDF which is really fascinating. It describes Rail Guns and the Gauss Rifle with information on how they would work. It is from a guy that has apparently built semi functional prototypes.

Wow that actually sounds like it would be in the game. Good job!

Really Complicated word

It was actually just put together in the wrong order.

It is actually meant to be WRC which stands for, Who Really Cares. As in who really cares what it stands for.

Repeating Carbine Weapon

Rapid Capacitor Weapon.

EDIT: The admittedly simplistic idea is that the ECP loaded into the "drum" area is powering banks of capacitors in the "drum" around it that fire in rapid succession to give the weapon its high RoF.
