ARC-920 railgun
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920 (abbreviated ARC-920 or known simply as the Railgun) is a compact-channel linear accelerator weapon used by the United Nations Space Command. It was designed and manufactured by Acheron Security.[1]
Design details
Like the M99 "Stanchion" Rifle, the ARC-920 uses a series of electromagnets to accelerate its projectiles. The rifle requires a brief charging period before firing high-explosive rounds accelerated to an incredible speed. [2] The explosive yield contained in the round adds to the kinetic force of the impact, making the weapon effective against both infantry and armor.[1]
The weapon lacks zooming capabilities.[2]
Gameplay
Compared to the Spartan Laser, the ARC-920's charging time is half the duration and deals less damage to vehicles. In addition, the travelling time for a fired shot is almost instantaneous.[2]
