The ''Sulok''-pattern rifle is the Covenant counterpart of the [[UNSC]] [[sniper rifle|SRS99 series sniper rifles]]. It is also the successor to the earlier {{Pattern|Zubo|beam rifle}}. The weapon has a variety of nicknames including '''PBR''',{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=321}} '''PB''' and '''Covenant Sniper'''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}

=== Disadvantages ===
=== Disadvantages ===
While the ''Sulok''-pattern beam rifle excels at material penetration, in the games, the particle beam rifle does not have much difference than its UNSC counterpart, although in canon it is much stronger.{{Citation needed}} The Type-50 is also unable to perform rapid shots in quick succession - after two shots are fired within a second of each other, the weapon will overheat and will shut down to prevent damage to its internal components, temporarily rendering the weapon useless. The particle beam rifle can only fire 18 shots before the battery is used up and the weapon must be replaced. Like its human counterpart, the particle beam rifle is ineffective at close range combat unless its user is skilled at close range combat with the sniper rifle. The beam of purple light produced from the beam rifle is very easy to see, but somewhat quicker at dissipating compared with the [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]], as a sniper's position is more likely to be compromised because of this, requiring the sniper to relocate quickly before being detected.
