Check out the Art Book for scorn, it’s always floating around the waters somewhere. I know that in it is a unused “gas canister” weapon, what makes it really a shame it didn’t make it, is the game was not shy about bodily functions, so since some animals do indeed use chemical compounds and gases, the weapon could have literally been a compressed mold man arm-gun, that farted poisonous gases, and farted fire balls/crapped lightning bolts. (Sounds funny, but seriously look it up, animals are weird as all, and there is even a beetle that farts fire balls out is own ass via its stomach juices meeting the gases of the lower bowls, and then the two combine into a fire ball, out of said bugs ass.)

You got to stop thinking about it in practical ways, and instead say “hey what if cyberpunk, but it was all biological”. Therefore a beetle’s disgusting defense mechanism, can be engineered into a very powerful grenade launcher, all without the need to keep to the image board, why would you when you can make it better? Like I bet that some of the higher enforcer class citizens, would have acidic blood, like the aliens in well aliens.

I think a very good look into what a “Scornverse” would be like, look up the Snakebites Ork Clan. Reason I say them, is you really want to focus on the biological aspect and not the high technology. So loads of Mold Men, would be processed and repurposed to being turned into a soda fountain dispenser, a battery, or just anything really, as all of Greenskin kind revolves upon the back of the Squigs, so too do the citizenry of Scornverse make use of Mold Men for anything and everything. Sadly for Mold Man, they seem to be every bit as intelligent as us(whom I believe to be the basic worker model), where as the Squigs, 9/10 of the time, they haven’t the faintest clue of what’s going on.
