The weapon has only seen limited use, its most notable combat use being in the [[Fall of Reach]]. Because of its relative rarity, the UNSC has theorized that its use is restricted either by branch or unit. Indeed, the weapon is only used by top-tier [[Sangheili]] ranks, including [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]]s and [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operations warriors]], as well as certain [[Jiralhanae]] shock troops.<ref name="waypoint"/> | The weapon has only seen limited use, its most notable combat use being in the [[Fall of Reach]].
