The | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | |||
The concussion rifle fires 30mm [[Class-4 explosive plasma bolt]]s{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, a form of munition similar in nature to the [[plasma mortar]]s employed on the heavier vehicles of the Covenant - such as the {{Pattern|Rizvum|Revenant}} or the [[Wraith]] series of tanks. The weapon is fed by a disposable magazine cell capable of holding enough charge for six shots, as opposed to the batteries common in other Covenant [[directed-energy weapon]]s - thus requiring a conventional reload. When fired, the explosive plasma bolts are launched in a projectile arc similar to that of the aforementioned heavy plasma mortars - though Covenant forces are typically reluctant to include the concussion rifle in a similar category.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | |||
== | ===Development history=== | ||
[[File:UltraMythos.jpg|250px|thumb|left|An [[Evocati]] warrior [[Fahl 'Nto]] wielding the ''Elo'Nakada'' during the Fall of Reach.]] | |||
The concussion rifle's design legacy can be traced back to the eponymous ancient [[Sangheili]] warlord [[Nakada 'Zadum]], who was able to perfect the operating principles of the weapon during the [[Siege of Qikost]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This design predated even the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] or the formation of the Covenant itself, and was later modified over the empire's long history.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} Unusually by Covenant standards, the [[Merchants of Qikost]] were able to protect the concussion rifle's [[design pattern]]s from external [[San'Shyuum]] weapon-crafter influence - allowing the weapon to be modified to fit the Covenant's standardisation principles but restricting its manufacture to only [[Assembly Forges]] controlled by the merchants themselves on [[Qikost]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Despite the modifications that have been made to the weapon over time, the core purpose and functions have remained unchanged.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | |||
The | |||
===Usage=== | |||
Due to its introduction prior to the formation of the Covenant, the concussion rifle has been a mainstay weapon for the entirety of the empire's history, going up to its final days in [[2552]], in which it was heavily employed during the [[Fall of Reach]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|[[Concussion Rifle]] in-game weapon}} The weapon's size and power dictated that it may only be employed by high-ranking personnel such as [[Zealot]]s, [[Sangheili General|Generals]], [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operations]] and [[Evocati]]{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} - something even noted by [[United Nations Space Command]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|BNet}} The weapon was additionally employed by [[Jiralhanae]] shock trooper units.{{Ref/Reuse|HR}} Personnel who were to use the concussion rifle were trained in specific battlefield tactics for the weapon's usage.{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint}} | |||
