Template:Weapon The Mauler is a Covenant Jiralhanae (Brute) infantry weapon featured in Halo 3.
Introduction
The Mauler is a one-handed shotgun, supposedly a dual-wieldable version of the UNSC assault shotgun. It is believed to be not as powerful as the UNSC shotgun, but has the bonus of dual-wieldability, and also a bayonet-like blade attached to its fore, allowing for stronger melee attacks like the Type-25 "Spiker" Carbine.
Discovery
Vehicle
The Mauler was first revealed in one of Bungie's weekly updates[1], which was used primarily to elaborate on the Spartan Laser. To quote:
- "My spotter positively identified the local bravo kilo sub-chieftain. I engaged the target at [censored] meters. The shot burned an approximately [censored] diameter hole through the target and severely damaged the mauler he had just dismounted."
The use of the words "bravo kilo sub-chieftain" proves that the aforementioned mauler was manned by a Brute during the encounter. Due to this, it was believed that it was a Covenant vehicle, though this was unconfirmed.
It was at first speculated to be the so-called "Brute Ghost." However, it has since been proven that "Brute Ghost" was actually a misnomer of the Brute Chopper. Some speculated that it was a Brute flier or spectre- type vehicle of some kind, but apparently, Bungie changed their naming scheme.
