The '''Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3plasmarifle</ref> or '''Plasma Rifle''' is a [[Covenant]] ground firearm.

It is a common light [[weapon]] in the [[Covenant]] Army, primarily wielded by [[Elites]]. However, [[Jackals]] ~~and even~~ [[Grunts]] are able to, and have been seen wielding the weapon. The Plasma Rifle uses induced [[plasma]] instead of projectile ammunition, firing directed energy bolts. This means that the weapon draws from a power source to generate its energy bolts rather than firing individual cased projectiles like a conventional weapon. The base power output of the rifle is 100-150 Kv @ 2-3 dA, and the rate of fire is 420 to 600 rounds per minute.<ref name="Library">[http://library.psyjnir.net/?id=50 Halo Library]</ref> The plasma rifle is particularly effective against shielded opponents.
