The '''Type-52 Pistol''' commonly known as the "'''Mauler'''" is a [[Jiralhanae]] "sidearm" used by the Infantry and Security forces of the [[Covenant Loyalist]]s during the [[Human-Covenant War]].

===Disadvantages===

The Mauler is generally unable to inflict the one-hit kill damage that the [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|M90 Shotgun]] is capable of, unless dual wielded. The spread of the Mauler's shell severely limits its range, and any weapon that can be used outside of close range can take down a user with a Mauler. Ammunition is often rare to come by and its five shell magazine can be used up rather quickly.

The Mauler design and mechanics was ~~modelled~~ after the pre-Halo weapon, the Excavator which was a piece of UNSC equipment but was shelved.<ref>''[[The Art of Halo 3]]''</ref> It does appear that the mechanics behind the mauler is reminiscent to the WST-M Shotguns from the [[Marathon (Video Game Series)]], as the principle is the same; a single shotgun will pack just enough punch to damage an enemy at range, however when [[Dual wielding|dual wielded]] they become very powerful.

*The original Covenant Mauler appeared in the pre-Xbox version of Halo as a [[Human]] weapon, it can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tqrfy4SR7I here] beginning at the 2:49 mark. It is referred to by the Bungie employees doing the commentary as the 'boring device'.

*The Mauler was first seen during the Vidoc "Et Tu, Brute?".

*Due to the loss of dual-wielding capabilities, the Mauler is ''much'' more powerful in [[Halo 3: ODST]]. It has plentiful ammunition in the levels it appears in, and is a fair bit more powerful than the shotgun at point blank, though this is balanced out by its very short effective range.

*Interestingly, the grip of the Mauler appears to be intended for [[Elites]], as it looks similar to the energy sword handle, though the bump may act as a trigger, as no trigger is present otherwise.
