Service history

"[The plasma pistol] is the bread and butter of Covenant small arms—almost as common as the MA5 is with the UNSC. After the Covenant Carrier jumped there were some areas of Mombasa where plasma pistols covered the ground like leaves—that maneuver killed a bunch of dudes on both sides."
— Anonymous UNSC E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman[5]

The Eos'Mak-pattern Pistol (UNSC Type classification: Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol, T-25 DEP)[2] also known as the plasma pistol,[5] is a Covenant infantry weapon originally manufactured by the Assembly Forges during the Human-Covenant War. Following the Fall of High Charity, the plasma pistol is manufactured by Iruiru Armory.[4]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Main article: Plasma pistol

Manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the Eos'Mak-pattern plasma pistol is a directed-energy weapon employed by the Covenant and its splinter factions. The Eos'Mak-pattern was the most common variant of the plasma pistol, often utilized by the frontline infantry like the Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and Yanme'e.[4] However, the design pattern is associated with an innumerable different sub-classes, much to the consternation of UNSC intelligence officers tasked with categorizing new variants.[3] Certain sub-variants are equipped with tracking sights.[2]
