Against UNSC vessels, the weapon is able to pierce dozens of centimeters of [[Titanium-A]] armor with comparative ease, rendering any form of physical defense useless. Therefore, a single hit or perforation can potentially disable or destroy vital systems, such as the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] or engines, as seen during the [[Battle of Earth]] when a single pulse from an [[Assault Carrier|assault carrier's]] dorsal energy projector crippled a [[Marathon-class Cruiser|''Marathon''-class cruiser]]. If an energy projector strikes in a critical area, such as the reactors of a ship, it could destroy the ship completely. The energy projector's beam is also able to take down the shields of a [[Covenant Frigate|Covenant frigate]] or [[Covenant Destroyer|destroyer]] with a single hit | Against UNSC vessels, the weapon is able to pierce dozens of centimeters of [[Titanium-A]] armor with comparative ease, rendering any form of physical defense useless.

The beam is functionally similar to the infantry-issued [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|particle beam rifle]], albeit on a vastly larger scale. It is also speculated that the beam can be focused to varying degrees. In space, the beam can be focused to a smaller, more concentrated, and thus more powerful beam generally used to decimate enemy fleets from afar. It also seems to drain all or most of the energy in a Covenant ship for a brief period unless the ship is big enough to supply the power without too much of a drain. | The beam is functionally similar to the infantry-issued [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|particle beam rifle]], albeit on a vastly larger scale.
