The '''''Korva''-pattern Flak Launcher''' is a [[fuel rod gun]] variant, prominently employed by the [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|remnant forces]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=299}} Alongside the similar {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}, the weapon is one of two weapon systems to be classified by the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s [[type classification system]] as the '''Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon''' ('''LAAW''').{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=339}}{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=91}}

Among [[human]] forces, the ''Korva'' has earned a variety of nicknames including "'''Thud Gun'''", "'''Farg'''" and the "'''Shine Box'''".{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
[[File:ReachSchematic - FuelRodCannon.png|class=blackbg|150px|thumb|left|A blueprint of the ''Korva''-pattern fuel rod gun.]]
Among the various [[design pattern]]s of fuel rod gun employed by the UNSC, the ''Korva''-pattern represents that with the most unified exterior housing. It fires the standard {{Convert|0.32|in|mm|disp=flip|sp=us}} [[Fuel rod|Class-2 fuel rod]]s typical of fuel rod guns, with a reloadable magazine of five fuel rods. The weapon is capable of semi-automatic fire and features a 2x thermal optics display, capable of dynamically tracking heat signatures.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}

The ''Korva''-pattern fuel rod gun is considered extremely resilient in the field, leading to its extremely pervasive use by Covenant forces during the [[Human-Covenant War]].

===Usage===
''Korva''-pattern fuel rod guns were widely employed by Covenant forces during the [[Human-Covenant War]], particularly the forces of the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] in the [[Fall of Reach]]. During this battle, they were employed by [[Unggoy Heavy|Heavy Unggoy]] troopers, [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]], [[Sangheili General|Generals]] and [[Sangheili Field Marshal|Field Marshals]], and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s.{{Ref/Game|HR|Fuel rod gun in-game weapon}}
