Used by Forerunner forces serving in [[Builder Security]] during the Forerunners' [[Forerunner-Flood War|war]] with the [[Flood]], the Z-520 Splinter Cannon fires unstable [[hardlight|light mass]] projectiles that break apart on impact, releasing reactive fragments. This design devastated massed [[Flood]] [[infection form]]s. Seemingly designed for use in quick-reaction and expeditionary military strikes, the Splinter Cannon can either be physically moved to a site by [[Promethean Soldier|Soldier constructs]] or instantly called in to reinforce a position by use of a [[Slipspace translocation|translocation]] beacon. [[UNSC]] forces have only encountered the weapon paired with a generator pedestal, but it is possible there are vehicle-mounted configurations.<ref name="universe"/> | Used by Forerunner forces serving in [[Builder Security]] during the Forerunners' [[Forerunner-Flood War|war]] with the [[Flood]], the Z-520 Splinter Cannon fires unstable [[hardlight|light mass]] projectiles that break apart on impact, releasing reactive fragments.
