Erudo'ma'keth-pattern pulse carbine

The Erudo'Ma'Keth-Pattern Carbine, also known as the pulse carbine, is a weapon originally used by the Covenant, and later by the Banished.

History
The pulse carbine was originally crafted by the Covenant weapon-smiths aboard High Charity. Though a relatively obscure weapon, it was utilized by some Covenant troops during the Battle for Earth. After the Human-Covenant War, the pulse carbine was put into full production at Lodam Armory alongside the Kelos'Vaarda-pattern rifle. It was later used by Banished forces on Reach during Operation: WOLFE. The Banished continued to use the pulse carbine during the Installation 07 conflict.. It is particularly favored by Banished scouts and marksmen on Zeta Halo.

Halo Infinite
The Pulse Carbine serves as the hybrid between the Plasma Repeater and the Battle Rifle. The Pulse Carbine fires in five-bolt bursts, which track enemies, and easily strips enemy shields. The projectiles from the Pulse Carbine will travel slowly at first, so the wielder must aim very carefully, especially in close quarters. If fired continuously, the pulse carbine will overheat, however, the player can vent the rifle before the rifle overheats completely. Overall, it is an effective medium range weapon, though less effective at close range. In the campaign, the Pulse Carbine is wielded by Sangheili and Jiralhanae.
