Support weapon

Support Weapons are a class of weapons exclusive to Halo 3.

These weapons are much larger than the standard handheld weapons, and require two hands to heft. Consequentially, players move more slowly while holding them, and cannot throw grenades or melee opponents while holding the weapons.

With the exception of the Flamethrower, support weapons are generally weapons that were originally designed to be fired from stationary mounts, but have been ripped off of their bases and carried around. Thus while they have functionally limitless ammunition while in their mounts, this becomes limited once removed and carried.
