Ukala Workshop Mauler: Difference between revisions

The '''Ukala Workshop Breach Pistol'''{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=295}} {{Type|52|Pistol|P}}<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 324''</ref>, more commonly known as the '''Mauler''', is a sidearm used by the [[Jiralhanae]] military forces of the [[Covenant]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].

The Type-52 Mauler is used by the Jiralhanae as a handgun, although human military experts have classified it as being more of a handheld shotgun than anything else. The magazine holds five 7.9mm metal bolts, which appear to be constantly kept at superheated temperatures before being fired. These bolts appear to fragment upon being ejected from the weapon, creating a scatter-shot effect reminiscent of human shotguns. Like all Jiralhanae weapons, the Mauler is equipped with a small blade underneath, making it a formidable melee weapon. The Mauler was manufactured by the [[Sacred Promissory]] prior to the fall of the Covenant and developed by the Ukala workshop. <ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''</ref>

The Mauler first  saw use during the [[Battle of Gbraakon|Battle]] of [[Gbraakon]] on [[Doisac]], shortly after the Jiralhanae's [[ First Immolation|global war]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} After that, it became the favored weapon of Jiralhanae security forces, and would not be seen by humans until the [[Battle of Earth]].
