A man-portable flechette support weapon that fires dense clouds of 2mm steel flechettes at a cyclic rate sufficient to saturate a 10-meter wide corridor with lethal projectiles. The Harvester uses a multi-stage electromagnetic accelerator fed from a backpack-mounted flechette hopper containing 8,000 rounds.

Carrion Defense Works designed the Thresher for corridor clearing operations — the close-quarters nightmare scenarios inside GLMZ's dense urban superstructures where conventional support weapons are too slow to track fast-moving threats in tight spaces. The CDW-12's flechette cloud does not require precision aiming; the operator simply points the weapon in the direction of the threat and lets the statistical spread ensure hits.

The Thresher's lethality comes from volume rather than individual round energy. A single flechette might not penetrate heavy armor, but a cloud of 200 flechettes fired in a half-second burst will find every gap, seam, and joint in any protective system. Medical teams recovering bodies from Thresher engagements describe the results as 'difficult to identify.'
