The Plasma Rifle consists of two large semi-automatic weapons welded together one on top, the other beneath. The pair of curved bodies are joined via the trigger guard.<ref name="PLAS2">'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 110''</ref> Placed atop one another, these projectors fire in a "stagger" pattern taking the slow automatic fire of each individual collimator and combining it, this design allows a faster rate of fire and more rounds per second. The side of the weapon has a small temperature gauge. This visually informs the wielder how close the weapon is to overheating.<ref name="PLAS2"/> The rifle, like most Covenant weapons, is smooth and aerodynamic, almost organic in appearance.<ref name="PLAS2"/> Covenant technology possesses no instrumentality, meaning none of the surface controls or triggers connect in any way human scientists can understand.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''', ''November 22nd, 2535''</ref> | The Plasma Rifle consists of two large semi-automatic weapons welded together one on top, the other beneath.
