It is more frequently seen farther into the series, where [[Regret's Carrier]] uses one to decimate the [[Prophets]] temple after he had been assassinated by the [[John-117|Master Chief]] on [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]. | ||
The weapon can fire a thin (compared to the ship) beam of extremely energetic particles. It was possible to determine when it was about to fire because it typically generates a rather detectable radiation spike before firing. The beam has an effective range of over 50,000 kilometers, longer even than that of a [[UNSC]] Super Orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. The long range allowed a ship armed with this weapon to 'snipe' or 'glass' targets. The weapon has been observed to gut [[UNSC]] ships from stem to stern, this happened to the Frigate [[Gettysburg]] over Reach.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', ''[[Halo: First Strike]]''</ref> | The weapon can fire a thin (compared to the ship) beam of extremely energetic particles.
