The '''''Gespu''-pattern flak launcher''' | The '''''Gespu''-pattern flak launcher''', or the '''Type-58 Light Anti-Armor Weapon''' ('''T-58 LAAW'''), also known as the '''fuel rod cannon''', is a shoulder-fired mortar used by [[Covenant remnants]], created as the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-Covenant War]] successor to the [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]].<ref name="LAL">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-locke-load '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder - Locke & Load'']</ref> | ||

The T-58 LAAW uses a compact and refined class of fuel rod ammunition that is far safer to manufacture, store, and field.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}{{Ref/Reuse|LAL}} | ||

It is an improved fuel rod cannon that features an 80% higher rate of fire and faster-moving fuel rods with a 72% larger blast radius at the expense of slightly reduced damage, contrary to its in-game description mentioning higher damage.{{Ref/Reuse|analysis}} It can also lock onto ground and air vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} This particular weapon also appears as the first [[special weapons|hidden weapon]] in the mission [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]].<ref name="Genesis">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9fcN1StZpk '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 Secret Weapons Location Light of Urs/The Answer'']</ref> | ||
* '''[[Pool of Radiance]]''': Both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] use once-forbidden, unstable weapons. The ''Pool of Radiance'', one of these weapons, is an advanced fuel rod cannon with a 40% slower rate of fire compared to standard fuel rod cannons, but its projectiles are deadlier as they leave dangerous residue upon impact and feature a proximity airbust fuse and a 42% larger blast radius.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} It can also be found as the second hidden weapon in the campaign mission [[Reunion]].<ref name="Reunion">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBnznAbPa4 '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 Secret Weapon, Where to find Pool of Radiance'']</ref> | * '''[[Pool of Radiance]]''': Both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] use once-forbidden, unstable weapons.
