Paint pellet gun

Introduction

The Paint Pellet Gun is a UNSC weapon that fires small pellets filled with paint.

Uses

The Paint Pellet Gun was used by CPO Mendez and drill instructors to train the Spartan-II's on the agricultural planet, Reach. It was used to snipe the Spartans in parade drills to teach them a lesson that things would be twisted, and unpredictable.

Service

It was probably only used in training when they were young, 6, 7, 8, 9 years old.

Speculation

It was only mentioned in one place, but it's highly possible that Mendez used them in other lessons and missions.

In Halo 3 on the map The Pit, which is a training facility, there are a few of the tan colored cement walls that have what seem to be a heavy amount of colored paint splattered in small circular patterns these could very well be a area of use for these weapons.^{[Verification Needed]}
