The ''' | The '''XMG-69 Southsun Titan Particle Beam''' ('''XMG-69 SSTPM'''), commonly known as the '''Burst Accelerator Cannon''', is a Titan [[directed-energy weapon]].<ref name="Binary GP">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZCyrDbW1QE '''YouTube''' - ''Binary Rifle first look - Halo 4'']</ref> It is often carried by Venom-class Titans as their default primary weapon, but it can be used by Ion-class Titans. | ||

Considered to be a brutal masterpiece of [[Forerunner]] weaponcraft, | Considered to be a brutal masterpiece of [[Forerunner]] weaponcraft, the binary rifle is a weapon used by [[Promethean Knight]] units and certain types of [[Promethean Crawler|Crawler]] units encountered on [[Requiem]]. Originally designed to combat the [[Flood]] at extremely long ranges, the Z-750 binary rifle is equipped with twin, core-mounted particle accelerators which fire ionized particle beams containing jacketed antimatter particles. The incredible power and accuracy of this weapon make it highly lethal, allowing it to neutralize most targets with a single shot, disintegrating the body of the target. | ||
The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. The sight through the scope is tinted orange and has two zoom levels, 5× and 10×. The rifle emits a highly visible orange beam from its barrel when aiming, allowing opponents to trace the user's location.{{Ref/Reuse|Binary GP}} | The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing.

At the height of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle was used by the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]'s [[Warrior-Servant]]s and military constructs alike against the parasitic [[Flood]]. The binary rifle was used to eliminate emerging [[keymind]]s and particularly dangerous Flood warforms. | At the height of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle was used by the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]'s [[Warrior-Servant]]s and military constructs alike against the parasitic [[Flood]]. The binary rifle was used to eliminate emerging [[keymind]]s and particularly dangerous Flood warforms. The binary rifle became critically necessary when dealing with large [[Flood pure form]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 100''</ref> | ||
Following [[Great Purification|the firing]] of the [[Halo Array]] and the loss of the Forerunner's control through the [[Domain]], many binary rifles had their security measures triggered, reducing them to formless fragments. Those located on the [[Promethean]] [[shield world]] of [[Requiem]] had their own master keys and remained intact, wielded by [[Promethean Knight]]s that guarded the [[Ur-Didact]]'s [[Cryptum]] at the behest of the [[Librarian]]. However, in [[2557]], with the Didact's release, the Prometheans under his command once again utilized the binary rifles to eradicate [[human]]s of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. However, with the Didact's [[New Phoenix Incident|apparent defeat]] shortly after, the Prometheans and their weapons entered the service of the Didact's ally, [[Jul 'Mdama]] and his [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]]. Later, once [[Cortana]] took control of the Prometheans, the binary rifles became weapons of the [[Created]]. | Following [[Great Purification|the firing]] of the [[Halo Array]] and the loss of the Forerunner's control through the [[Domain]], many binary rifles had their security measures triggered, reducing them to formless fragments.
