"Watch out for the Captain! It's got a brute shot!"
— Cortana[7]

The Jovokada Workshop Death Lobber (UNSC Type classification: Type-25 Grenade Launcher, T-25 GL),[6] also known as the brute shot, is a Jiralhanae-employed grenade launcher developed by the Jovokada Workshop.[3][1] It was manufactured by the Sacred Promissory in the Covenant,[3] and Jovokada Foundry in the Banished.[1] It is nicknamed Brute Gun, Gerbil Shooter, and Gerbil Launcher.[6]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The brute shot is a Jiralhanae-designed projectile weapon that is most closely analogous to a UNSC automatic grenade launcher.[4] However, the brute shot features a sharply curved stock-mounted hilt bayonet on its underside,[1] which is a powerful melee weapon made of tungsten-alloy.[2] In the hands of a strong, experienced warrior, the bayonet can easily cut through armor and flesh,[3] allowing the wielder to cleave its victim in two with ease.[1] Despite the brute shot's comparatively large size at six feet long, the Jiralhanae use it more like a rifle than a support weapon;[2] the Jiralhanae carry it low, holding the large, circular firing grip with one hand, while the other hand holds a horizontal foregrip underneath a small bayonet, both of which are underneath the weapon's barrel. Instead of the small foregrip, the Sangheili and Spartans hold the stabilizing grip above the barrel.
