User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Type-31 Rifle (XW3 AR3 L3GION)

The Type-31 Rifle or Needle Rifle is one of the closest Sangheili weapon to any Terran projectile firearm. The Needle Rifle fires long sharp crystal shards, which unlike the Needler pistol do not track or 'home in' on enemy soldiers. However they instead penetrate flesh and detonate seconds later or shatter completely upon contact, spraying the immediate area which micro-shard which embed themselves into flesh and armour.
