The {{Pattern|M'tara|focus rifle}} is a weapon in the same lineage as particle beam rifles, though operates on an inherently different operating mechanism, firing streams of [[Plasma|superheated plasma]] reversed engineered from [[Forerunner]] weaponry. The focus rifle's [[Smart-linking|smart-link]] firmware is based on that of the particle beam rifle.{{Ref/Site|Id=FocusRifle|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/focus-rifle|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Focus Rifle|D=14|M=5|Y=2021}} | |||
