This '''unidentified weapon''' was a handheld [[directed energy weapon|directed energy]] multiweapon created and used by the [[Forerunner]]s during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].<ref name="origins">''[[Halo Legends]]'', [[Origins]]</ref>{{Ref/Site|Id=waypoint|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-encyclopedia-extravaganza|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Encyclopedia Extravaganza|D=2|M=8|Y=2022}} | |||
==Description== | |||
The weapon was a silver, claw-shaped device that generated a hard-light blade, capable of firing bolts of energy. When multiple weapons were used in conjunction, they could apparently combine their energy bolts to form a single large blade-like projectile that sliced through the air.{{Ref/Reuse|origins}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
The means of activating the weapon is remarkably similar to that of the [[Sangheili]] [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]]. It is possible that the weapon inspired the operational design and power supply of the energy sword. | |||
