The Focus Rifle is a [[sniper]]-style weapon, that, despite its visual similarities to the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System]], functions quite differently. Instead of a firing a single beam in one shot, the rifle fires a continuous purple-tinted beam of magnetically contained plasma, similar in operation to a [[Sentinel Beam]], the [[Forerunner]] weapon from which the T-52 SAR was reverse-engineered. The plasma is formed in a cylindrical module and directed through a channel of electromagnetic coils, forming a precise beam. Like most Covenant infantry weapons, the weapon draws its power from a battery. The weapon requires high power expenditure and the battery is easily depleted.<ref name="guide"/> The exact mechanism by which it functions was under investigation by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] as of August 2552.<ref name="Bnet"/> | The Focus Rifle is a [[sniper]]-style weapon, that, despite its visual similarities to the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System]], functions quite differently.
