The shard cannon fires a rapid stream of red [[Subanese crystal|Blamite]] projectiles at a high velocity. These projectiles are very similar in appearance to those of the [[Needler]], but do not share the "supercombining" or homing abilities of Needler rounds. Upon puncturing an enemy, the pulse beam's projectiles "shatter" within a few seconds.{{Ref/Game|Id=InGame|H2|Shard cannon in-game weapon}} They have an effective range of 150 metres (490 ft){{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} and gradually lose altitude as they fly, giving Enforcers a decent advantage over the Flood as they can fire from long ranges and heights.{{Ref/Reuse|InGame}} | The shard cannon fires a rapid stream of red [[Subanese crystal|Blamite]] projectiles at a high velocity.

The weapon's similarities to needle weaponry of [[Covenant]] design have lent credence to the theory that the [[Sangheili]] may have created their own needler weaponry based on reverse-engineered shard cannons.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11Enforcer}} It likely shares some overall characteristics with the similar [[shardstorm launcher]] | The weapon's similarities to needle weaponry of [[Covenant]] design have lent credence to the theory that the [[Sangheili]] may have created their own needler weaponry based on reverse-engineered shard cannons.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11Enforcer}} It likely shares some overall characteristics with the similar [[shardstorm launcher]] | ||
