Z-750 binary rifle

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle[1], commonly known as the binary rifle, is a Forerunner energy channel weapon.[2]

Overview

The binary rifle is a weapon used by Forerunner Promethean Knight units and certain types of Crawler units encountered on Requiem. The rifle uses two core-mounted particle accelerators to accelerate its projectiles to high speed, killing targets with one shot.[3]

Design details

The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange 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. The sight through the scope is tinted orange and has two zoom levels, 5x and 10x. The rifle emits a highly visible orange beam when aiming, allowing opponents to trace the user's location.[2]
