==Overview==
{{Main|DTM Series}}
===Research and development===
The DTM Series is a series of pump-action shotguns that are found in all of the ''Halo'' games, with the exception of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''.
As a result of [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[M45 shotgun]] proving efficient during many MOUT operations during the [[Insurrection]], WST introduced the economical and practical version of the [[M45E shotgun]] in the form of the [[M90A shotgun]].{{Ref/Book|Id=HEVGP177|EVG|Page=177 (Shotgun)}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HCEALibraryShotgun|CEA|WhatLink=Library (feature)#Shotgun|WhatText=Library (Shotgun)}}
 
===Contracts===
[[Misriah Armory]] advertise the [[M90 shotgun|M90A]] on some of their advertising.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H3ODSTMS}}
 
===Advertising and sales===
The WST [[DTM series]] of shotguns are sold in 20gauge to 10guage in the civilian market, with 8gauge only being sold in law enforcement and military agencies.{{Ref/Reuse|BNH3Shotgun}} The M90 Shroud for the [[Mk50 Sidekick]] is marketed towards police and self-defence markets.{{Ref/Reuse|HIM90Shroud}}

==History==
===Insurrection===
During the Insurrection, as a result of Misriah Armory M45 shotgun proving to be effective, WST introduced the economical and practical version of the M45E shotgun in the form of the M90A shotgun,{{Ref/Reuse|HEVGP177}} this eventually lead to the M90 dominating in the military and private sector.{{Ref/Reuse|HCEALibraryShotgun}}
 
===Human-Covenant war===
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], around [[2552]] WST advertised their company round [[New Mombasa]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=H3ODSTMS}}
 
==Production notes==
The name "WST" likely comes from the [[1999 (real world)|1999]]-era third-person builds of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', where the [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons#Shotgun|shotgun]] was named the "WSTE-M90 sacs" where the name derived, like all other weapons in the build, from the shotgun in [[Bungie]]'s ''[[Marathon]]'' series, the [[marathongame:WSTE-M5 Combat Shotgun|WSTE-M5]].{{Ref/Twitter|Id=TwitterMarcusWeaponNames|game_fabricator|727601612441559045|Marcus Lehto|Y=2021|M=5|D=23|Quote=Some were asking about all the weapon names in this old #Halo PC build.}} The names from said build were all named by [[Robt McLees]].{{Ref/Twitter|Id=TwitterMarcusWeaponRobt|game_fabricator|1388531022246023172|Marcus Lehto|Y=2021|M=5|D=23|Quote=Robt McLees named them all. I'm not certain I got the above list 100% correct since it's pretty hard to read the text in this build.}}
