An unusual Covenant projectile weapon, this powerful, accurate and scoped weapon effectively shoots tiny fuel rods of fissile material. The shielded auto ejecting magazines each hold 36 rounds of radioactive ammunition.

NOTE: With only the Halo 2 iteration of this weapon to go on, and itself largely being an analogue to the human battle rifle, it's hard to say whether this weapon will return largely unchanged or whether it will get a makeover. What we do have here is an explanation for why this weapon works different than most Covenant weaponry, by connecting it to another weapon, the fuel rod gun, which is notably absent from the existing lineup of Covenant weapons in Halo 3, aside from their integration into Hunters' suits.
