===Design details===
Manufactured by [[Iruiru Armory]], the design of the ''Mosa''-pattern carbine has its origins among the [[Sangheili]], with a heritage that stretches back to weapons used on [[Sanghelios]] millennia ago. As opposed to the older {{Pattern|Vostu|carbine}}, the ''Mosa''-pattern is much more similar to the classic Sangheili design, though incorporating several modern updates.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} A semi-automatic weapon, the ''Mosa''-pattern carbine fire 8.7 x 60mm caseless reactive rounds,{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} a projective laced with radioactive isotopes or reactive materials, making it a unique departure from the [[Covenant]]'s [[Plasma weaponry|plasma weapons]]. The kinetic impact of a carbine round is generally sufficient to neutralize a target, but its ammunition is also capable of [[Wikipedia:Acute radiation syndrome|poisoning]] over time, eventually causing a lethal catalytic reaction. The weapon features a 2x magnification holographic optic and generally is seen fielded with a 20-round magazine,{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} though 18-round magazines have also been encountered.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}
