User:VinWarrior/Type 63 Plasma Direction Rifle

The Type 63 Plasma Direction Rifle, or Plasma Sniper is a Shanghelli Weapon created after the Human-Covenant War, it ran on Plasma and while you didn't have to reload it had to overheat through vents at the front of the barrel.

Damage
The Plasma Sniper featured Plasma Bolts and instead of multiple shots like it's Human Counterpart the Sniper it featured 1 collection of about 4 Plasma Bolts, with the shear acceleration of the bolt, it could slice a human head off, on shields the Sniper is slightly less effective, if aiming for a shielded target and hitting the legs it would result in paralization. This weapon weighed about 24 pounds and was heavy for a Human's standards, but Elites and Brutes could carry this weapon with ease, it get's it's weight from the metal which needed to be strong enough to withstand the overheat of the Plasma.

Usage
After the Covenant Collapsed the Elites needed to build an Army of there own, and a gun was needed in every solider of that army. As there were many different arms, the Type 63 was the replacment of the Beam Rifle, on Zealot Missions the Type 63 was common for support, since the weapon was expensive Jackals rarely used the Type 63. Rtec' Barunee, a former Elite Major built the Plasma Sniper funded by the Seperatist Elites. After relations with the Humans grew worse the Gun's production sped up greatly to prepare for a whole new war. It would be used later over the years but only by the highest Elite Marksmen.
