Weapon System Technology (initialism WST,[1] plural "Weapon System Technologies"), is a military corporation, that is the designer of the DTM series of shotguns,[2] a more cost-effective copy of Misriah Armory's renowned M45 tactical shotgun series.[3][4]
Overview
Research and development
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.[4]
Contracts
Weapon System Technology allows Misriah Armory to produce at least one model of the DTM series, the M90A,[5] with Misriah featuring the weapon in advertising.[1]

Production notes
The name "WST" likely comes from the 1999-era third-person builds of Halo: Combat Evolved, where the 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 WSTE-M5.[7] The names from said build were all named by Robt McLees.[8]
