The Singularity biotic ability (which the singularity projector emulates) and the Warp biotic abilities are both the result of using mass effect fields which generate gravity to inflict damage via gravitational tidal forces. The Warp ability is actually closer to what the disruptor torpedeo does, and there isn't any technological weapon system which emulates it to my knowledge as an the infantry scale weapon system.

Given how experimental and bulky the singularity projector is, it should be a reasonable sample for how well ME can scale technological replicas of biotic abilities down.

Ah, I see now. That's actually some pretty interesting stuff.
