The '''''Vostu''-pattern Carbine''',{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=292}} {{Type|51|Carbine|C}},{{Ref/Book|Id=ENCY|Enc11|Page=322}} and known as the '''Covenant Carbine''', is a midrange weapon that was created by the [[Sangheili]] and commonly used by [[Covenant]] marksmen.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
{{Quote|Oh man! You really need to learn to recognize the symbols on top of the charger—and count your shots, too. First time I picked one up I just about brained myself when it ejected.|Anonymous serviceman}}


==Overview==
The '''Type-51 Carbine'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3carbine</ref>, otherwise known as the '''Covenant Carbine''' is a [[Covenant]] ground firearm.  
===Design details===
Manufactured by [[Iruiru Armory]], the design of the ''Vostu''-pattern carbine has its origins among the [[Sangheili]], with a heritage that stretches back to marksman rifles used in conflicts on [[Sanghelios]] millennia ago.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Unlike the newer {{Pattern|Mosa|carbine}}, the ''Vostu''-pattern carbine's design was intentionally adapted for use by other species, featuring native link integration. The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine is semi-automatic, recoil-operated and charger-fed. Additionally, it features an optic with 2x magnification. The weapon's cylindrical magazine holds 18 rounds,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|bnetcarbine}}{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} and also provides indication of number of rounds left in the magazine by utilizing a holographic display.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The back end of the weapon contains two circular openings, the forward one is the weapon's hand guard and the area in front of it is where the weapon's trigger is located. On the weapon's top rail is the magazine well and ammunition chamber,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} next to it is a hammer like device which springs back when the weapon is fired. The forward part of the weapon contains the ''Vostu''-pattern carbine's barrel, which controls the rapid acceleration of the projectile out at a high velocity.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetcarbine}}


====Ammunition====
==Summary==
The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine marks itself as unique among [[Covenant]] firearms by its ammunition. Rather than using [[plasma]], which can be inaccurate, noisy, and slow at long range,{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} this weapon utilizes 8×60mm caseless radioactive projectiles. This ammunition can come in a number of compositions, but the Covenant primarily employ an extremely toxic compound mined from a radioactive [[moon]] in the Sangheili's [[Urs system|home star system]],{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} as well as several other locations in Covenant territory.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm3003659_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post3003659|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Catalog Interaction - Page 48|D=12|M=10|Y=2014}} The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine can fire this projectile at supersonic speeds,{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} when fired, the round, which is coated in a shielded material{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} is accelerated to a speed anywhere from Mach 1 to Mach 5, traveling downrange at 2,296 feet per second.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The round is powered along its entire flight path, consuming up to 50% of its total mass by the time it reaches its maximum effective range.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetcarbine}} The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine's ballistic round can stop a target at up to six hundred and fifty yards. It is believed that this round is based on technology used in the larger [[fuel rod]]s weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}}
The Carbine is the Covenant equivalent of the [[UNSC]] [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]] and the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]]. It is a semi-automatic weapon that combines high accuracy with decent stopping power, used primarily for mid-range combat. When a round is fired the bolt goes back and foward. Unlike most standard-issue Covenant [[weapons]] such as the [[Plasma Rifle]], the Carbine does not run on a battery. Rather, it fires solid, radioactive projectiles from an 18-round cylindrical magazine, sometimes suggested as being analogous to a "stripper" style magazine. It has a similar feature to the [[Assault Rifle]] and the [[Battle Rifle]] in that it tells how much ammo is in the magazine. It is sometimes carried by [[Brutes]] and [[Elites]], though this is not usually their preferred weapon, as they prefer the more common [[Spiker]] (Brutes) and the [[Plasma Rifle]] (Elites). They are most often found wielded by Jackal snipers. In the hands of an enemy Brute or Elite they can be extremely deadly, allowing them to engage their enemies at mid range with deadly accuracy. This weapon is the weapon of choice for a sniper [[Jackal]], along with the [[Beam Rifle]].  


Against light armored targets, the rounds' supersonic speed and super-heated nature ensures armor penetration on either the first or second impact. Impacts to the flesh can vary dependent upon range and speed - a single round impacting flesh at close range will penetrate deep into the target, and can nick bone. The kinetic energy from the impact of a round at close range can knock back an individual.{{Ref/Anthology|HEvol|Story=Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian}} Two rounds that impact the same area at close range will pass through the target easily. Upon impact the round releases a toxic material into a victims bloodstream,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} in addition to radiation burns the victim suffers. The chance of survival of being hit from the ''Vostu''-pattern carbine is low. If the round has not struck a vital organ the victim only has a few minutes before the toxic chemicals kill the victim unless it is treated immediately.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
===Advantages===
With a 2x zoom ability, it's possible to make lethal head shots from afar. When you get your hands on one, be sure to take advantage of it. It is also quite effective at killing an unshielded opponent in Multiplayer, and has equal effectiveness to an unshielded enemy as that of a Battle Rifle, M6D, M6C and M6G. Like those weapons, it will kill an unshielded opponent with one shot to the head.
 
Because the Carbine fires projectiles, not plasma bolts, it is more useful against Flood than the other Covenant weapons, excluding explosives, as it can destroy the embedded [[Infection Form]]. One of the best uses for this weapon is to shoot the armored headpiece off of Brutes, after which another headshot from the weapon will dispatch them.
 
The Carbine, when used correctly, can take down an enemy slightly faster than a Battle Rifle can, though it requires more aim, taking at least seven shots to the head in Multiplayer. Damage done by the Carbine is slightly lower than that of the Battle Rifle (if all three bullets hit), but it fires about twice as fast making it equally deadly.
 
The Covenant Carbine has one other advantage over the Battle rifle. It is able to do damage to Jackal Point Defense Gauntlets, Enforcers shields, Stationary Shield Generators, Brute Power Armor, and other shields of such nature, though not as much as other [[Covenant]] weapons.
 
It also very useful in the [[Halo 2]] campaign against [[Brutes]]. The weapon can do head shots, and can be use at most all ranges. Because Brutes have very little head protection, a skilled player can take out three or four brutes with one clip.
 
===Disadvantages===
The Carbine's only real shortcomings are that your position is betrayed by a yellowish-green trail with each shot, just like the Sniper Rifle's steam trail or a Battle rifle's tracer trail. It's sound also attracts the attention of nearby players. Also in Halo 3 its accuracy is decreased, causing it to be less reliable then the [[Battle Rifle]].
 
==Reloading Speculation==
In the final version of [[Halo 3]], when reloaded, it emits a small cloud of steam, or gas. Fans speculate that the gas comes from overheating. Although the Carbine doesn't "overheat", the pressure used to project the shot out of the Carbine may, in fact, produce internal overheating, meaning that the pressure causes gas to form inside the weapon. So, when reloaded, the fully used magazine has all of that condensed pressure, inside, and the gas comes out along with the magazine. Another speculation, based off the fact that the carbine's ammunition is similar to the [[Fuel Rod Cannon]] and a remark made by an anonymous marine that the carbine's "gas" can give you [[Boren's Syndrome]], is that the gas is actually residual radiation left from the ammunition itself.
 
==''Halo 3''==
[[Image:H3_Covenant_Carbine_angle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Halo 3 Carbine]]
During the [[Halo 3 Beta]], there were concerns that the Carbine was overpowered compared to its counterpart the Battle Rifle. This disparity was attributed to an excessively high rate of fire, which allowed it to inflict more damage over time than the Battle Rifle. In the final game, the Carbine's rate of fire has been reduced to about that of the Halo 2 version. Furthermore, its power has been reduced slightly. It now takes eight head shots to kill a fully-shielded opponent in multiplayer, as opposed to seven in Halo 2 and the Halo 3 Beta. In addition to the reduction in per-shot damage, the Carbine also starts with two spare magazines when found in multiplayer, whereas it only started with a single spare magazine in Halo 2 multiplayer.
 
Also, in the Beta, when reloaded, it did not emit a small cloud of gas as it does in the final version of the game.

As far as the Carbine's role in the campaign, it is still occasionally wielded by Brutes, but it can most frequently be found in the hands of [[Jackal]]s.
===Usage===
The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine served as one of the Covenant's primary medium to long-range weapons. It was frequently used by Sangheili of various ranks, though its most prominent use is among [[Kig-yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|marksmen]], scouts, and trackers, who often utilized the weapon as an effective tool for sharpshooting and assassination.{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} After the [[Great Schism]], Jiralhanae infantry were often deployed with this weapon.{{Ref/Level|H3|Crow's Nest}} Though it was encountered as early as [[2526]],{{Ref/Film|H4FuD}} and was seen occasionally during the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref> it was not properly cataloged by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] until [[2551]].{{Ref/Note|Id=Mosa|The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' indicates that the ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' carbine is a {{Pattern|Mosa|carbine}}, despite the UNSC designating it as a Type-51 carbine like the ''Vostu''-pattern. However, this can be attributed to the UNSC's different classification standards when compared to the Covenant's.}}

''Vostu''-pattern carbines are used by Covenant against humanity. One model was held in a display case in [[Miranda Keyes/Silver|Dr. Keyes']] lab.


==Gameplay==
“In my youth I used to board Olympus a couple o’ times a year—you see where I’m going with this? Yeah. That foxtrot gun is the size of my old board.”
===Advantages===
The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine, with its 2× zoom ability is an excellent medium-ranged weapon; its accuracy and performance in the field makes it a popular choice for infantry who are required to engage enemy infantry:


*The Carbine can kill a standard-shielded enemy in seven rounds.
“Wish it was smaller; wish it had a proper stock—or at least a butt pad.”
*The Carbine's rate of fire is faster than any known mid-long range semi-automatic weapons of its class.
*The Carbine can disable any type of infantry energy shield system including [[Jiralhanae power armor]], [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet]]s or [[Covenant portable shield]]s.
*The Carbine's relative precision and low noise emission allows the carbine to perform multiple roles in the field; including designated marksman.


===Disadvantages===
"Hey—don’t inhale immediately after the charger ejects. I heard that shit will give you Boren’s Syndrome.”
The ballistic round gives off a light green trail, exposing the shooter's position, a weakness similar to the {{Pattern|Sulok|beam rifle}}. Its distinct sound at close to medium range may also attract the attention of nearby enemies. The ''Vostu''-pattern carbine's firepower, when compared with its UNSC counterpart, the Battle Rifle, is stronger, yet slightly less accurate, especially if fired too fast. The magazine is also relatively small and when faced with shielded enemies, the player usually requires an entire clip to eliminate the target unless they aims at weak spots on the armor or energy shield systems.


===Changes between games===
==Character Compatibility==
====Changes from ''Halo 2'' to ''Halo 3''====
*[[Elites]]
*In ''Halo 2'', when the players uses the scope, the view is a group of seven hexagons melded into a honeycomb shape. In ''Halo 3'', four lines will separate from the center in addition to the hexagons, almost on the same plane as the reticle lines.
*[[Spartans]]
*In ''Halo 3'', the Carbine has a green patterned circle on top of the magazine indicator.
*[[Marines]]
*Carbine ammo is much more abundant, double the amount usually given in Halo 2.
*[[Brutes]]
*Improved design, including more polygons and better textures.
*[[Jackals]]
*New sound effects for the carbine.
*[[Combat Form|Flood Combat Form]]
*The power has been reduced slightly from its ''Halo 2'' counterpart. It now takes 8 shots to kill a fully-shielded opponent in multiplayer, presuming the last shot is to the head, as opposed to 7 shots in ''Halo 2''.
*In addition to the reduction in per-shot damage, the Carbine also starts with two spare magazines when found in multiplayer, whereas it only started with a single spare magazine in ''Halo 2'' multiplayer.
*Emits a small cloud of green gas and a soft hissing noise when reloading.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' instruction booklets, the Carbine is incorrectly labeled as having 36 rounds, instead of the actual 18 rounds. This is actually the number of rounds the Carbine's human equivalent, the Battle Rifle, has.
*In the [[Sacred Icon]] level the dead [[Brute]]s will have Carbines with ammo levels at 104 or higher, but when reloaded the extra ammo is 99.
*In ''Halo 2,'' on the level ''Sacred Icon, ''there is a glitch where the player starts off with 78 spare rounds instead of the usual 72. However, if the player empties the magazine and then try and pick up Carbine ammo, the player will only be able to get a total of the usual 72 spare rounds.
*The ammo of the Type-51 carbine is loaded similar to most modern human weapons, unlike many other Covenant weapons.
**A number of Covenant Carbines have more spare ammo than normally allowed on the Halo 2 level Sacred Icon.
*When the entire magazine of the carbine is spent, it will automatically eject itself from the weapon, which can be startling for someone who has never used the gun before. This feature is also similar to the workings of the U.S. M1 Garand rifle of World War II.
*On the ''Halo 2'' campaign level [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]], several Carbines have 120 rounds in reserve, much more than the usual max, 72. This also occurs on other levels, especially if the Carbine is taken from an ally scripted to pick the weapon up, such as the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] in the detention block in Gravemind.
*In the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] after you rescue the [[Marine]]s, one Marine will take a Carbine that has 120 rounds in it.
*If the player gives a shield-bearing Jackal a Carbine in ''Halo 2'' and then melee it, it will drop the Carbine and pull out a [[Plasma Pistol]]. This is done for the [[Jackals' unlimited Plasma Pistols|Unlimited Plasma Pistol]] Glitch.
*In the level [[High Charity]] and [[Sacred Icon]], you start out with a Carbine with 78 rounds.
*In ''Halo 2'', when reloaded, the Covenant Carbine's magazine will pop out but disappear almost immediately. In ''Halo 3'' they will fall on the floor and take a short while to disappear.
*In [[Halo 2]], if you give a Marine a carbine with a partially used clip, he or she will discharge the clip, a rare instance of a marine actually reloading a weapon.
*In the ''[[Halo Wars]]'' official strategy guide, the Covenant Carbine is called a "slug beam rifle", probably because it fires radioactive rounds at rather high velocities and at long ranges.
*The Covenant Carbine is Frank O. Conner's weapon of choice.
*The designer's idea of the ''Vostu''-pattern carbine self-ejecting the spent magazine might have come from the [[wikipedia:M1 Garand|WWII-era M1 Garand]]'s [[wikipedia: Clip (ammunition)|en-bloc clip]].
*In Halo 3 Campaign when The Arbiter or one of the Elites die they respawn with a Carbine
*In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the Carbine has a different firing sound, sounding much deeper than before. Also in ''Halo 3: ODST'', if fired long enough, like the rest of the weapons, the reticle will start moving up. This is likely the result of the player character being an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, instead of a SPARTAN-II or Sangheili.
*In the [[Halo 2]] instruction booklet, the Carbine is incorrectly labeled as having 36 rounds, instead of the actual 18 rounds. Ironic as this is the number of rounds the Carbine's human equivalent, the [[Battle Rifle]] has.  
*The Carbine is arguably the best non-power weapon available in ''ODST''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Firefight mode. This is due to both the removal of the Battle Rifle from the game and the Carbine's status as a headshot-capable energy weapon, which makes its rounds immune to the adverse effects of the Tilt Skull.
*This design however far fetched it may seem, might work, provided the right technology is available.
*The Carbine seen in ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'' appears to be the ''Halo 3'' iteration of the weapon, rather than the ''Halo 4'' version. This is likely because it is probably the same prop that [[WETA Workshop]] created for ''[[Halo: Landfall]]''.
*Despite having a 2x zoom scope capability, the carbine doesn't appear to have a scope mounted on it. It is possible that the Carbine links directly to the users HUD just like the [[M6D]] pistol. This suggests that the Spartan and Elite HUD software is not only aesthetically similar, but also works in a similar fashion as to be compatible with each others weapons. Or the ammo canister functions as a disposable scope when it is locked in.
*It is unknown why the ''Vostu''-pattern carbine is designated as a carbine despite its length being greater than most Covenant "rifles" and its use as a marksman weapon.
*Despite being referred to as a Carbine, the Carbine would more correctly be classified as a rifle due to its size. Ironically the [[Plasma Rifle]] would more likely be classed as a carbine in comparison to the Covenant Carbine via size.
*With the exception of the [[Needler]] and [[Fuel Rod Gun]], this is the only [[Covenant]] projectile weapon known.
*If someone was to breathe the gas of the Carbine, it may result in giving them a disease know as [[Boren's Syndrome]].
*In Halo 2 [[Jiralhanae]] are seen holding this weapon with only one hand.
*In Halo 3, by pressing the reload button and the melee button at the same time over and over in quick succession, the player can eject hundreds of clips from the gun. The player will not be able to see more than the clip flying out but to other players the trick is visible.  
*The Carbine is one of the only weapons that has a visible clip popping out of the gun. (visible only to other players)
