The Type-27 beam rifle is quite similar in design to the Type-50, suggesting that both weapons were derived from the same ancient [[Sangheili]] design.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 71''</ref> However, the Type-27 has a bulkier profile akin to that of the [[Type-52 Special Applications Rifle]]. In comparison with the Type-50, the weapon's firing channel is better concealed and is set closer to the muzzle. It features an enclosed focusing crystal compartment rather than its counterpart's open layout. Another major difference is that the Type-27's grip faces straight back, whereas the Type-50's is angled upward; this allows the user to maintain a conventional shooting posture rather than being forced to fire from below the shoulder. The weapon's grip also differs from the Type-52's in the fact that the Sangheili-designed ergonomic grip has been reconfigured to a smaller thumbhole with additional hand grips, usable by multiple species with different hand structures.<ref name="THB 9.19.12"/> Through the ionization of hydrogen gas and the use of a linear accelerator, a powerful beam is emitted at hypervelocity speeds, lethally striking enemy targets.
