'''Particle beam rifles''' (or simply '''beam rifles''') are a type of [[sniper rifle]] system employed by the [[Covenant]] empire and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]]. They fire an ionized [[particle beam]] at extremely high velocity, capable of dealing damage comparable to the [[SRS99 series]] rifles employed by [[human]]ity. Within the [[Type classification system|type-classification schema]] for Covenant materiel catalogued by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], particle beam rifles are designated as '''Special Application Sniper Rifles (SASRs)'''.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Within Covenant [[design pattern]] nomenclature, they refer to the various patterns of beam rifles as '''Long Rifles'''.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=293}}
