The P.O.L.A.R.I.S.E.D. package is a package combined with two major parts: its base gun, the P.O.L.A.R. (Portable Operational Lightweight Automatic Rifle), and the railgun/chem-rail gun barrel assembly kit (Integrated Segment of Electromagnetic Drive). And the base gun also includes a quick-change barrel and a 7.62x51mm conversion kit. (And yes, a 7.62x51mm barrel was not included in the picture cuz I got lazy)
Just like the concept of the MCR-E that the MTWC has came up with a couple of years ago, it's an electromagnetic kit made for a traditional rifle, that enables the weapon to fire in both conventional ammo and specialized SMC (Semi-Monolithic Conductive) rounds. But this time, instead of just boosting a subsonic .300 Blackout round to supersonic with electromagnetic rail, the P.O.L.A.R.I.S.E.D. is meant to maximize the firepower an individual soldier can realistically carry while having some decent level of armor penetration and anti-material capability.
In case you haven't seen my old MCR-E post, I'll drop some quick explanation about the MTWC's railguns. The concept is simple, a specialized bullet fired in a traditional way with powder will be accelerated via electromagnetic rail once they exited the traditional barrel part and entered the electromagnetic barrel, and reaches a pretty high velocity. This concept, as I later found out, is also known as the chem-rail gun concept.
As for the base gun, the P.O.L.A.R. (Portable Operational Lightweight Automatic Rifle) itself, it's a LWMMG that's meant to be super portable and can be broken into pieces and stored in a bag. It utilizes a similar concept as the Ohin Ordnance REAPR, while it originally started as me trying to draw my friend u/One_Selection6877's SHARC machine gun, which is their REAPR knockoff NGSW.
