| The '''''Gespu''-pattern flak launcher''' {{Type|58|Light Anti-Armor Weapon|LAAW}}, also known as the '''fuel rod cannon''', is a shoulder-fired mortar used by [[Covenant remnants]], created as the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-Covenant War]] successor to the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}.<ref name="LAL">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-locke-load '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder - Locke & Load'']</ref> | | The '''Type-58 Light Anti-Armor Weapon''', also known as the '''fuel rod cannon''', is a shoulder-fired mortar used by [[Covenant remnants]].<ref name="LAL">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-locke-load '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Locke & Load'']</ref> |
| | | ==Design details== |
| == Design details == | | Created by multi-species workshops on [[Venezia]], the T-58 fuel rod cannon is cheaper, more accurate, and more reliable than the older [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]. The T-58 launcher uses a compact and refined class of fuel rod ammunition that is far safer to manufacture, store, and field.<ref name="H5G"/><ref name="LAL"/> |

| | | ===Light of Urs=== |
| == Variants == | | The ''Light of Urs'' fires faster projectiles that do more damage compared to the standard fuel rod cannon.<ref name="H5G"/> |
| * '''[[Light of Urs]]''': During the [[Blooding Years]], many advances were made in fuel rod technology, with the ''Light of Urs'' being one of those advances. It is named after the star and the deity in [[Sangheili mythology]]. It is an improved fuel rod cannon that features an 80% higher rate of fire and faster-moving fuel rods with a 72% larger blast radius at the expense of slightly reduced damage, contrary to its in-game description mentioning higher damage.{{Ref/Reuse|analysis}} It can also lock onto ground and air vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} This particular weapon also appears as the first [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon]] in the mission [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]].<ref name="Genesis">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9fcN1StZpk '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 Secret Weapons Location Light of Urs/The Answer'']</ref>
| | ===Pool of Radiance=== |
| * '''[[Pool of Radiance]]''': Both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] use once-forbidden, unstable weapons. The ''Pool of Radiance'', one of these weapons, is an advanced fuel rod cannon with a 40% slower rate of fire compared to standard fuel rod cannons, but its projectiles are deadlier as they leave dangerous residue upon impact and feature a proximity airbust fuse and a 42% larger blast radius.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} It can also be found as the second hidden weapon in the campaign mission [[Reunion]].<ref name="Reunion">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBnznAbPa4 '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 Secret Weapon, Where to find Pool of Radiance'']</ref>

| * Extensive structural changes; reload now involves a speed-loader style cylinder of ammunition rather than a vertically loaded rack. | |
| * Structure is much more sleek in design. | |
| * The ammo is now loaded from the back rather than from the top. The ammo mag is also changed from a single line to a circular line.
| |
| * Firing rate decreased.
| |
| * Projectiles now have a longer range before being affected by gravity, after which they explode instantly.
| |
| * Weapon trajectory travels slightly faster than its predecessor.
| |
| * Uses a holographic scope when using smart scope instead of a full-screen scope.
