This article lists the weapons used by the Sangheili and the Republic of Sangheili Meritocracy after the Terran-Covenant War and during the Doisac War.

Type-1 Anti-Personnel Grenade

The Type-1 AP Grenade or Plasma Grenade is the standard grenade used by Sangheili forces. Equipped with a three second fuse, the Plasma Grenade to stick to any enemy personnel and vehicles if thrown accurately.

Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword

The Energy Sword is the epitome of close quarters weapons used by the Sangheili warriors. Even though the melee weapon is capable of devastating entire Jiralhanae packs, the weapon is mainly ceremonial.

Type-1 Energy Weapon/Dagger

Similar in function to the Energy Sword, the Energy Dagger is used by Sangheili Special Warfare Division and other Sangheili operatives. The Energy Dagger consists of a single magnetic-field generator to create a singular ionized blade, making it more concealable.

Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle

The Plasma Rifle is the standard armament for Sangheili warriors, it is fully automatic and is a especially effective against energy shields and unarmoured foes. It is as common place as the soldiers that wield it.

Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol

The Plasma Pistol has lost some of its potenial in the Sangheili military where it is regarded as an inferior weapon. However, it is used as a back up weapon and for its ability to disable vehicles.

Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Turret

The Type-26 ASG or Shade is the Sangheilian main defence turret and is highly effective against hostile infantry and lightly armoured vehicles. Heavily armoured on the front, the Shade has no armour on the flanks or rear, therefore Sangheili operators depend on other warriors for protection.

Type-31 Rifle

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.

Type-33 Guided Muntions Launcher 

The Type-33 GML or Needler is a deadly weapon employed by both sides during the Doisac War, however due to its vicious effects but slow speeds, it is slowly being phased out of service for more reliable weapons. However a certain personal stigma is attached to the Needler as it is seen as the Sangheili as no skill with his weapon.

Type-33 Light Anti-Armour Weapon

The Type-33 LAAW or Fuel Rod Gun is the Sangheilian shoulder mounted anti-armour weapon used to tackle hostile vehicles and installations. Unlike Terran thin skin, the Sangheili thick reptilian skin can deal with the Fuel Rod Gun's low-level radiation and can deal with the weapons 38mm explosive ballistic gel projectiles which serve as the weapon ammuntion.

Type-34 Heavy Anti-Armour Weapon

The Type-34 HAAW or the Plasma Missile Launcher is the heavier anti-armour weapon employed by the Covenant and then the independent Sangheili nation. Based on the starship based Plasma Torpedoes, the PML fires miniature super-heated bolts of plasma which can fired in quick succession, can track enemy vehicles via an simple system of sensor linked to a small computer and upon impact detonates in a fashion similar to a Plasma Grenade.

Type-50 Sniper Rifle System

The Type-50 SRS or Particle Beam Weapon is the Sangheilian battery-powered sniper rifle which fires ionized particles at its enemies. Although considered by some Sangheili as a cowards tool, they cannot argue against the weapons effectiveness. The Type-50 SRS can take down even the most powerful Jiralhanae monster, a fact that Sangheili snipers constantly tell others.

Type-51 Carbine

The Covenant Carbine has recieved many names after the Great Schism: Sangheili Carbine, Jiralhanae Carbine, Kig-Yar Carbine and the Type-51 Carbine each name given from its respective users. However all Carbines are practically the same, all fire the 8mm caseless radioactive projectile or 'pod' from a charger-fed magazine located above the trigger guard. The Sangheili Carbine is used as a mid-range weapon besting the Plasma Rifle in range but being inferior to the Particle Beam Weapon in power.
