Particle Acceleration Beams are a unique weapon developed by the UNSC. They are an adaption of Sentinel beam and the Plasma torpedo beam Cortana invented. They are essentially a ship-mounted Spartan laser. These take about a forty seconds to charge, and can devastate an unshielded covenant ship with a single hit. Ships with shields will them severely strained or dropped altogether by a Particle Beam. These also have a unique disadvantage. After about twenty shots the Magnetic lens Mechanism cracks and requires a three hour replacement. The other problem is that it has a long “barrel” and the entire ship must face its target for the weapon to hit
