The X50 Plasma Rifle, or X50PR, is a powerful heavy assault rifle developed by the United Galactic Alliance for use by Heavy Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. The X50 fires superheated, highly compressed ionized gas at a high rate of fire. It's size indicates that it is far too large for any average Human so it is used by HODSTs and a small amount of Sangheili. The X50 is larger than the Plasma Rifle used by the Covenant and is able to hold more energy, giving it double the amount of rounds the Covenant Plasma Rifle had and the battery can be quickly swapted like a magazine for more ammunition. It is also built with automatic vents that relieve heat, causing it to be able to fire more rounds before overheating. It is very precise at mid range and can burn through energy shielding and metal plating. It has limited effectiveness at close range and has a range too short to be considered for long range.
