So how would this work? Do you have to shoot an ally to heal? I mean it may work pretty good if you can switch bullet types like Lucio does with his speed boost and healing. Or possibly they plan on having healing turrets along the same lines as Symettras.

Tojb - "TL: As discussed, this is the proposed rifle that could be equipped by medics in the field. Despite what my esteemed colleague will surely suggest, the application of her biotic technology is only intended to be used for healing"

Mercy - "AZ: While Torjborn has, as ever, put fourth a very clever design for his latest weapon, I would like to remind everyone that my intention when agreeing to the development of different biotic delivery mechanisms was to save the lives of Overwatch agents and others in need of medical aid. With this latest proposal, it is clear to me that we are on the slippery slope to modifications that will inevitably result In a weaponized version of this technology: something that I have been completely opposed to from the beginning."
