The '''Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle''' ('''T-27 SASR'''), otherwise known as the '''beam rifle''', is a long-range [[Covenant]] weapon.<ref name="THB 9.19.12"/> | |||
==Overview== | == Overview == | ||
=== | === Service history === | ||
The | The T27 SASR is manufactured by the [[Merchants of Qikost]]. As evidenced by its designation, the Type-27 was cataloged [[2527|much earlier]] in the [[Human-Covenant War]] than the comparable [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System]], which shares the "beam rifle" moniker. Though the T50 was encountered as early as [[2531]],<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> it was not cataloged until [[2550]] and did not become a particularly common weapon until [[2552]],<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3beamrifle '''Bungie.net:''' ''Type-50 Sniper Rifle System'']</ref> which suggests that the Type-27 saw more predominant use throughout most of the war. Despite being supplemented or perhaps replaced by functionally similar weapons, the Type-27 saw continued use among [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces as late as [[2558|October, 2558]].<ref name="THB 9.19.12"/><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> The T-27 SASR is now the Covenant’s primary long-range special application weapon, used almost exclusively by scouting personnel and designated marksmen. It is ranked a Rare REQ in [[Warzone]] simulations, and is available at Level 6 energy while giving 100 REQ points if sold. | ||
=== Design details === | |||
The Type-27 beam rifle is quite similar in design to the Type-50, suggesting that both weapons were derived from the same ancient [[Sangheili]] design.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 71''</ref> However, the Type-27 has a bulkier profile akin to that of the [[Type-52 focus rifle|Type-52 Special Applications Rifle]]. In comparison with the Type-50, the weapon's firing channel is better concealed and is set closer to the muzzle. It features an enclosed focusing crystal compartment rather than its counterpart's open layout. Another major difference is that the Type-27's grip faces straight back, whereas the Type-50's is angled upward; this allows the user to maintain a conventional shooting posture rather than being forced to fire from below the shoulder. The weapon's grip also differs from the Type-52's in the fact that the Sangheili-designed ergonomic grip has been reconfigured to a smaller thumbhole with additional hand grips, usable by multiple species with different hand structures.<ref name="THB 9.19.12"/> Through the ionization of hydrogen gas and the use of a linear accelerator, a powerful beam is emitted at hypervelocity speeds, lethally striking enemy targets. The weapon features a 4× to 10× [[smart-link]]ed scope which will give off a bright purple shine while zoomed in.<ref name="H5G"/> | |||
== Variants == | |||
* '''Sword of the Faithful''': The ''Sword of the Faithful'' is the personalized beam rifle of the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s majordomo. It is an improved T-27 that features enhanced hipfire accuracy, faster heat dissipation, and a higher rate of fire compared to normal T-27 beam rifles. It is ranked an Ultra-Rare REQ in Warzone simulations, and is available at Level 6 energy while giving 150 REQ points if sold.<ref name="H5G"/> | |||
* '''Krith's Left Hand''': ''Krith's Left Hand'' was reclaimed from the [[Krith|Kig-Yar Pirate Prince's]] personal vaults by [[Ripa 'Moramee]] sometime before the latter became the [[Arbiter]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> Unlike other beam rifles, ''Krith's Left Hand'' is an advanced T-27 that fires in three-round bursts with one pull of the trigger. A single burst will kill a Spartan in [[War Games]]. It is ranked a Legendary REQ in Warzone simulations, and is available at Level 7 energy while giving 200 REQ points if sold.<ref name="H5G"/> | |||
