The Fuel Rod Gun is the Covenant analog of the [M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]. It fires eerie green pulses of deadly radiation that transverse to the target in a parabolic arc. This indirect line of fire makes the Fuel Rod Gun often a difficult [[weapon]] to wield. | The Fuel Rod Gun is the Covenant analog of the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]].

In the PC version, the fuel rod gun is rarely used. It runs as another battery operated weapon, and overheats for a while after five quick shots. Indirect hits will barely be effective, and direct hits are nearly impossible. But, it has the ability to partially stun a hit target, so a bombardment can take out one, but leave the wielder vulnerable for too long to live. Also they are used as a secondary weapon on Banshees, that are called Banshee Bombs. So, this weapon has been labeled as either a noob weapon or a weak weapon. | In the PC version, the fuel rod gun is rarely used.

In Halo 2-3, the Fuel Rod Gun was widely changed. Now called the Fuel Rod Cannon, the weapon is gold in color, and can be reloaded. The overheat has also been stripped away. The FRGs projectiles now arc less and track slightly over long ranges, but are also slower in speed. | In Halo 2-3, the Fuel Rod Gun was widely changed.
