Unlike prior fuel rod weapons used by the Covenant, the ''Gespu'' was engineered by multi-species workshops on Venezia.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}} As such, it is more ergonomic for use by multiple species, considered smaller,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} lighter, safer, and cheaper.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLockeLoad}} These advantages are also aided by the weapon being generally more accurate than its forebears.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}} These advances, in part fuelled by the [[Blooding Years|civil war]] on [[Sanghelios]], have resulted in the weapon becoming the dominant design fielded by the various ex-Covenant remnants including [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Unlike prior fuel rod weapons used by the Covenant, the ''Gespu'' was engineered by multi-species workshops on Venezia.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}} As such, it is more ergonomic for use by multiple species, considered smaller,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} lighter, safer, and cheaper.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLockeLoad}} These advantages are also aided by the weapon being generally more accurate than its forebears.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}} These advances, in part fuelled by the [[Blooding Years|civil war]] on [[Sanghelios]], have resulted in the weapon becoming the dominant design fielded by the various ex-Covenant remnants including [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
The ''Gespu''{{'}}s main notable design difference from prior models is in its reloading; rather than reloading via a top-loaded magazine, the weapon instead reloads by manually inserting a revolving magazine similar to a [[revolver]]'s [[Wikipedia:Speedloader|speedloader]], consisting of five {{Convert|1.5|in|mm|disp=flip|sp=us}} Class-2 fuel rods into the back of the weapon.{{Ref/ | The ''Gespu''{{'}}s main notable design difference from prior models is in its reloading; rather than reloading via a top-loaded magazine, the weapon instead reloads by manually inserting a revolving magazine similar to a [[revolver]]'s [[Wikipedia:Speedloader|speedloader]], consisting of five {{Convert|1.5|in|mm|disp=flip|sp=us}} Class-2 fuel rods into the back of the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} The fuel rods used by the ''Gespu'' are considered safer to manufacture, store, and field, when compared to the ammunition of earlier weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLockeLoad}} | ||

The ''Gespu''-pattern fuel rod cannon was first introduced in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. In the [[Warzone]] gamemode in [[multiplayer]], it is an Uncommon [[List of REQ cards|REQ]] that can be called in for {{Energy|4}}, and sold for {{RP|75}}. | The ''Gespu''-pattern fuel rod cannon was first introduced in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.

The ''Gespu'' is one of the weapons featured in ''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'' (OSFM). However, it is given size and weight statistics inconsistent with those provided on [[Halo Waypoint]] and in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''. In the OSFM, the weapon is given a length and weight stat of {{Convert|55.4|in|cm|disp=flip|sp=us}} and {{Convert|45.9|lb|kg|disp=flip|sp=us}}, respectively - something consistent with neither other published material on the ''Gespu'' nor any other fuel rod gun model. The page also lists the weapon as manufactured in the [[High Charity]] [[Assembly Forges]]; a statement which would apply to the other fuel rod weapons in Covenant service, but not the ''Gespu''; this is something in keeping with the page text's more general description of fuel rod guns rather than the ''Gespu'' specifically.{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=195}} | |||
