Type-52 Special Applications Rifle

The, also known as the Focus Rifle, is a Covenant and USR sniper rifle used mostly for anti-material purposes, but can be used against enemy personnel with horrendous effects.

Description
The Focus Rifle is a high power beam weapon, designed to damage enemy war materials with a focused plasma beam. The beam utilises a focused magnetic tunnel, designed to superheat and guide the plasma in a directed beam. The super heated beam of plasma melts materials and damages guns, and can severely burn unshielded infantrymen and quickly incapacitate them, however its effectiveness against shielded targets is lessened. The weapon requires a steady hand and supreme tracking skills to use against infantrymen, but can produce devastating results against infantry targets.

The weapon is prone to overheating and requires a cooldown period before it becomes functional again. The weapon's advanced cooling system enables it to become functional again in a short time. It comes fitted with a day/night scope with up to ten times of zoom. Newer USR versions have improved cyronic cooling systems, allowing it to operate for longer without overheating, and cool faster.
