Biorifle

The Xindi-Reptilian biorifle weapon was an example of biotechnology, a rifle-type energy weapon. The power cell was a lifeform which resembled an eel. Its neural pathways modulated the rifle's power output; Doctor Phlox considered it the most sophisticated example of biomechanical engineering he had ever seen. If the organism was removed from the weapon, a new one grew almost immediately to replace it, making it very difficult to disarm such a weapon. The organism could be killed with a sustained burst of delta radiation. Omicron radiation, however, caused the organism to thrive.
