Template:Weapon Infobox The Weapon/Anti-Materiel Z-390 High-Explosive Munitions Rifle, also known as the Incineration cannon, is a Forerunner anti-matériel weapon originally used to combat the Flood.[1][2]
Overview
The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge infected sites. Prometheans used the Incineration Cannon when assaulting a location believed to contain a Gravemind, or early-forming spore mountains, that were deemed too small for ship weapons but too large for infantry weapons.[2] The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,[2] which gather into globular projectiles that oscillate along a straight trajectory. The projectiles detonate and spread upon impact with a target, ricocheting and bouncing in tall but short arc trajectories. It initially holds five whole charges at a time with one shot per charge. Each charge is automatically "loaded" after firing and cool-down. It has been described as "mixing traits of a rocket launcher, shotgun, and flamethrower."
Design details
The weapon possesses an angular design and a metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and reloading mechanics. Red highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired.[3] The weapon also features an integrated optical scope for targeting accuracy.
