Has it ever been clarified if the Silver Hawk Multi-Rifle has its own power supply?

Most power armor energy weapons are tied directly into the PA. They only have a separate power supply if stated, usually under payload stat.

I think a better question is how the power would get there as it doesn't seem like there's a visible cord to cut like I think I recall there being for some weapons in Warlords of Russia.

Like could power be transferred through a port in the hand, so it doesn't require a cord to target?

It doesn't help that the cover of DB3 makes it look like that thing takes E-clips/E-canisters. It doesn't appear to require 2 hands to fire so that huge bulky thing on the bottom doesn't seem to be purely for a grip.

The cover of DB 3 and the picture in DB 2 are pretty much the same. I have always assumed that magazine looking thing was for the grenade launcher as that is the only thing makes sense.

As for where the power comes from, I agree it is probably from the grip, similar to how Skelebots power their laser rifles.
