This '''unidentified fuel rod gun''' is a type of fuel rod gun that was in service within the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] in [[2552|September 2552]]. It is a shoulder-mounted, battery-powered weapon which fires [[fuel rod]]s, and was often carried by [[Special Operations Unggoy|Spec-Ops Unggoy]] during the later stages of the [[Battle of Installation 04]].{{Ref/Game| | This '''unidentified fuel rod gun''' is a type of fuel rod gun that was in service within the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] in [[2552|September 2552]].

This unidentified fuel rod gun is a powerful, shoulder-mounted infantry weapon which fires explosive fuel rod ammunition, similar to vehicle-mounted weapons such as the [[fuel rod cannon]], but which have a very pronounced downward arc. Unlike other fuel rod gun models such as the [[Type-33 fuel rod gun|Type-33]] and [[Type-58 fuel rod cannon|Type-58]], this unidentified model draws from a battery reserve, instead of a physical magazine. As such, it is subject to the same limitations as other Covenant battery-powered weaponry: notably, it will overheat if fired rapidly for too long, and cannot easily be recharged on the battlefield.{{Ref/Game| | This unidentified fuel rod gun is a powerful, shoulder-mounted infantry weapon which fires explosive fuel rod ammunition, similar to vehicle-mounted weapons such as the [[fuel rod cannon]], but which have a very pronounced downward arc.

Some versions of this weapon were known to be equipped with a "dead man's switch", which caused the weapon to detonate if its wielder was killed in combat, rendering the weapon inoperable and useless and potentially damaging any enemies - or allies - nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|CECamp}} This was common for other types of fuel rod gun too, such as the Type-33.{{Ref/Game | Some versions of this weapon were known to be equipped with a "dead man's switch", which caused the weapon to detonate if its wielder was killed in combat, rendering the weapon inoperable and useless and potentially damaging any enemies - or allies - nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|CECamp}} This was common for other types of fuel rod gun too, such as the Type-33.{{Ref/Game|Id=CEACamp|CEA|Campaign}}{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Id=BNet}} However, the concept was phased out by the Covenant in late 2552.{{Ref/Reuse|BNet}} | ||
