===Development history=== | |||
{{Quote|The manufacturers deliver me a weapon that fires three bursts—I say, why not five?|Vulcus reflects on the development of the shock rifle.}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}} | |||
Like the standard shock rifle, the Purging shock rifle was developed by [[Sicatt Workshop]] technicians aboard the [[Banished dreadnought]] ''[[Ghost of Barolon]]''. When [[Vulcus]] of the [[Alchemy Corps]] was presented with the standard weapon, he questioned why the design could not be developed further to fire bursts of five bolts rather than three. He wished to push the technology to its limits as [[Escharum]] was planning the [[Banished]]'s [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]] to [[Reach]] in [[2559]]. Vulcus's efforts ultimately resulted in the creation of the Purging shock rifle.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFBloodMoon|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fly-me-to-the-blood-moon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Fly Me to the Blood-Moon|D=12|M=1|Y=2024|LocalArchive=Armory Infinitum#Purging Shock Rifle}} | |||
