The fuel rod gun, which was first encountered by UNSC personnel in [[2531]],<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod '''Bungie.net''': ''Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon'']</ref> is essentially a man-portable version of the [[fuel rod cannon]] that is mounted on Covenant vehicles - it is a support weapon that is commonly employed in both anti-personnel and anti-vehicle roles. It appears to be recoil-operated and fires 3.8&nbsp;cm explosive ballistic incendiary gel projectiles, that travel to the target in a parabolic arc.

The weapon is not wieldable in the Xbox version of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''; it was, however, made available in multiplayer mode for the [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|PC]] version. In the PC version, it is a battery operated weapon, and can fire a total of 28 rounds, five rounds each before overheating, from its 100 battery unit charge. The weapon's metal plating is purple with a gray barrel.

*When the player gives a fuel rod gun to a marine, their animation is the same as if they were holding a rocket launcher; their left hand is at an angle, just like when they hold a rocket launcher.

*When an NPC is holding the weapon since ''[[Halo 2]]'' the projectiles will have a rather strong homing towards the objective, however when the player uses it, it will lack said feature.

*In ''Halo PC'' multiplayer, the weapon's barrel retracts into the weapon when fired. Whether this is the firing mechanism or a recoil compensator is unknown, but the weapon has very little recoil on the hands of the player character, supporting the latter.
*The fuel rod gun was originally meant to be a grenade launcher, but it was changed to a Covenant rocket launcher. It can be viewed on this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tqrfy4SR7I video.]
