*The second firing mode, done by holding the trigger down once fired, primes an alternate fuse on the grenade that will not detonate until the user has released the trigger. This can be used strategically to allow for indirect fire, setting traps, or simply remotely-discharging the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} This can also serve as a [[Wikipedia:Dead man's switch|dead man's trigger]], with the grenade being detonated should the operator be killed. | *The second firing mode, done by holding the trigger down once fired, primes an alternate fuse on the grenade that will not detonate until the user has released the trigger.

Once fired, the remote detonation system's screen updates to showcase the status of the fired grenade. While loaded and ready to fire, the screen displays "ARMED", indicating the weapon is ready to fire. Once fired, the readout briefly displays "LNKING" (presumably indicating it is connecting to the grenade), then to "IN AIR" or "LNKD" depending on fire mode, before finally displaying "BOOM!" upon detonation.{{Ref/Reuse|HR}} | Once fired, the remote detonation system's screen updates to showcase the status of the fired grenade.

Due to its simplicity, ruggedness, and firepower, it has been a mainstay weapon in the Army since its adoption in [[2263]] and has seen action in several armed conflicts during nearly three centuries of use, with the [[Human-Covenant War]] as the most prominent.{{Ref/Reuse|profile}} It proved very effective during the [[Insurrection]]; although it is less effective against [[Energy shielding|energy shielded]] Covenant foes, it can be used to deadly effect against unshielded targets. Because of the weapon's reliability and power, it will likely continue to be fielded by the Army.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} Sometime after the Human-Covenant War, [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] used this weapon in a [[UNSC Tactical Simulator|simulation]] against the [[Flood]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. | |||
