The Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod</ref>, also known as the | The Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod</ref>, also known as the Fuel Rod Cannon, is a [[Covenant]] indirect-fire mortar with ground and air applications that appears in all three games of the [[Halo]] Trilogy, although with minor changes in appearance. It is occasionally wielded by higher-ranking [[Grunts]], and often wielded by higher-ranking [[Brutes]]. It is known that some versions are equipped with a "dead man's switch" similar to that of the [[Energy Sword|Plasma Sword]] but only in the events of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] | ||
In the later games, it had no fail-safes, allowing the player to pick up the weapon in [[campaign]]. All of the incarnations of this weapon fire bolts of deadly radioactive incendiary gel that explode on impact with targets or surfaces, and some variant are equipped with homing rounds. Unlike many Covenant weapons, most incarnations of the Fuel Rod Gun fire ammunition that comes in magazines of 5 Fuel Rods. Up to 25 additional Fuel Rods can be carried for a total of 30 shots. The weapon's projectiles arc very slightly due to gravity, unlike the human [[Rocket Launcher]], so one must aim slightly above the target to effectively use the weapon in long range firing. | In the later games, it had no fail-safes, allowing the player to pick up the weapon in [[campaign]].
