User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Electro-Thermal Canister

"These canisters are quite nifty. I mean, they aren't that large, they're a nice cylinder shape and are quite light compared to, say, the sixty-round mag of an MA5AR-G. But hey, don't allow any plasma to hit them, they explode! I lost a nipple!"

The Electro-Thermal Canister is a piece of critical technology which allows the usage of Crystalline Growth Ammunition. This technology was first used by the San'Shyuum was their main weaponry against the Sangheili in their First Contact War. CGA technology while technological superior, it was sadly ineffective against the Sangheili's metal projectile weaponry.
