XM-3 Shrink Ray

The XM-3 Shrink Ray is a Wonder Weapon in the non-canonical Nazi Zombies storylines Apocalypse IV: Imminent Impact and Apocalypse V: Universe of the Damned.

Overview
The XM-3 Shrink Ray was created by Dr. Brian Johnson during his time on the Ark of Eden. Utilizing technology from the Xucubi, an ancient alien race, Element 115, and compounds found only in the core of the Earth, Dr Johnson was able to create the XM-3 Shrink Ray rather quickly. The successful creation of the weapon baffled his colleagues, as the weapon shattered the beliefs of anatomy. The XM-3 Shrink Ray was sent to the Central Intelligence Agency for approval to be put into combat. However, even though the CIA liked the weapon, it was never put into combat. Because of this, only one XM-3 Shrink Ray currently exists.

The XM-3 Shrink Ray causes any type of zombie to shrink, as the weapon's name suggests. It has a five round magazine, which is fed through the bottom of the gun. When fired, a green bolt-like force of energy emits from it. This energy wraps around up to five zombies and causes them to shrink within .5 seconds. The zombies remain shrunk for three seconds. While they are shrunk, the zombies cannot harm the player. The weapon has the mobility of the starting weapon (M9mm), meaning it doesn't create any drag for the player. When Pack-a-Punched, the XM-3 Shrink Ray becomes "The Fractilizer". After the upgrade, it gains a ten round magazine. The effect on the zombies is also permanent. The basic version of this weapon can only be obtained from the Mystery Box.

Wasteland version
The XM-3 Shrink Ray first appears in the Wasteland gamemode, a non-canonical gamemode in the storyline Apocalypse IV: Imminent Impact. This version is exactly the same as canonical version, the only difference being that it can be obtained from the Mystery Box, Weapon Shops, the wall, and the ground (the last two being extremely rare, however).
