It's a prototype Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle. Because it's a prototype, it's rather not something you want to subject to physical stress, and is much more powerful than the mass-produced version. The dead soldier that the Rangers lifted it off of was one of the experimental soldiers that the Combine would mutate the humans into.

7 hour war was purely fought by the flyers and striders.

Really? No ground troops were used at all?
Strange....I thought when the aliens annihilated most of the world's standing armies, that they used ground forces to wipe the floor with the army..

Nope, think about it though all those strider weapons just tore into armour.

They did win, because they also had the advantage of headcrabs and antlions causing havoc on earth, the portal storms stretching the earth military to breaking point and superior numbers.

I still doubt the aliens didn't use Ground Forces. You said yourself, Striders would tear through an armored unit easily.
Striders are Heavy Assault Units....
Excuse me, but that right there is not something that flies. I hope.
Also, where did you get the fact that the Combine only used their Air Forces? I cannot find that info anywhere.....

....You do know that if a wiki site states something, it is not necessarily cannon, right?
Besides, I used Combine OverWiki, which makes no mention of only air forces being used by the combine.
