Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920

[edit]
ARC-920

The Asymmetric Recoilless Carbine-920, also known as the ARC-920 or simply the Railgun, is a compact-channel linear accelerator that fires a high-explosive round at incredible speed. The charge time is approximately two seconds and can be fired with only a partial charge at the cost of lesser damage. A direct hit will kill any player regardless of charge time.

The ARC-920 is the next step in the evolution of UNSC Railgun tech. It is widely considered the best out of all limited production rifles, though compared to other weapons, it is still quite cumbersome. The followed-on explosive charge in its M645 ferric-tungsten projectile helped keep the ARC-920 in its high position as a deadly tool of destruction.

Older Railgun models such as the M99 Stanchion were very heavy and bulky, limiting their use to more precise combat-roles. However, Post-War research and development has shrunk combat-effective electromagnetic launching systems into nothing more than bulky rifles including the ARC-920. System mass was reduced by creating an integrated cartridge that contains both a disposable power cell and a ferric-shelled projectile. Even more refinements in this field are expected in the near future.

M19-B SAM Launcher

[edit]

The M19-B Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher, commonly shortened to M19-B SAM Launcher, is a heavy ordnance weapon used by the UNSC.

M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher

[edit]
M41

The M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon formally known as the Medium Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon, Bore 102mm, M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Launcher, is a heavy ordnance weapon of the UNSC arsenal.

The M41 SSR fires 102mm HEAT shaped charge rockets. The launcher sports a 2x scope and can fire rockets over long distances with devastating accuracy, although its altitude decreases over longer distances.

When reloaded, the barrels are removed and two preloaded barrels are then inserted back into the unit. With this mechanism, a Marine can greatly reduce the weight he has to carry without throwing the weapon away like some contemporary disposable rocket launchers.

LAU-65D/SGM-151 Missile Pod

[edit]
LAU-65D/SGM-151

The LAU-65D/SGM-151, also known as the Missile Pod, is a UNSC emplacement launcher unit which fires self-guided missiles. Capable of seeking and tracking targets at long distances, it is most commonly fired from a static position; while reports have surfaced of troops removing the pod from its fixed emplacement and using it in a mobile fashion, these have so far been inconclusive.

The system consists of a stationary mount which provides a stable firing platform for the missile pod itself. An internal eight-round magazine within the pod is replenished by an external magazine in the base of the emplacement. When fired the missiles are first propelled upwards by the pod itself before initiating their automated self-propulsion guidance system. ASGM-4s, lower-grade versions of the large ASGM-10 Missiles used by Longsword Interceptors, are heat-seeking armor-piercing ordnance used for both anti-aircraft and anti-armor roles.

This system is normally found mounted on defensive emplacements, walls and vehicles. While it features forward and rear grips, allowing the user to remove the Missile Pod from its emplacement and carry the weapon, at 202.4 centimeters long it is too massive and cumbersome for anyone but Spartans and particularly strong Sangheili to wield in this way.

W/AV M6 G/GNR Spartan Laser

[edit]
M6

The Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle (abbreviated W/AV M6 G/GNR), also known as the Spartan Laser, is the UNSC's ground-based, man-portable, anti-vehicle, directed energy weapon.

It is one of two known battery-powered UNSC weapons, the other being the Model 99 Special Application Scoped Rifle (used by Sgt. A. Johnson during Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE) and is the most powerful infantry weapon fielded by UNSC forces, even overpowering the Rocket Launcher. It is capable of penetrating multiple targets, including tanks, unlike the Sniper Rifle, which can only penetrate infantry. It is alternatively known as the Galilean, or, in player lexicon, the "Splaser". The "Spartan Laser" nickname originates from the fact that it was designed in parallel with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/[G] variant.

The M6 Spartan Laser is a man-portable, shoulder-fired, directed energy weapon used by the UNSC. When the trigger is pulled, a red targeting laser is painted on-target accompanied by an audible whine as the weapon cycles up. The Spartan Laser will then charge for approximately two to three seconds before discharging the main laser. As the Spartan Laser charges, the charging tone gets noticeably louder and increases in pitch until the laser is fired. If the target moves out of sight or the operator needs to relocate, the firing sequence can be aborted without discharging the battery as long as the trigger is released before the weapon actually fires. The laser is capable of penetrating several enemies or vehicles, and has a small blast radius, injuring targets within two meters of the point of impact and toppling light vehicles. It has an offline sequence between shots while it (presumably) cools down (approximately 2–4 seconds), and is highly effective at destroying enemy vehicles.

It was developed as a part of Project GUNGNIR, which created a MJOLNIR variant alongside the M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle.

M149 Magellan RCL

[edit]
M149

The M149 Magellan RCL is a UNSC weapon used during the Human-Covenant war.

LAU-1810/SGM-151

[edit]

The LAU-1810/SGM-151 is a missile launcher used by the UNSC during the Human-Covenant war.

M555 EL

[edit]
M555

The M555 Electromagnetic Launcher, more commonly known as the gauss turret, is a heavy weapon. It was employed by the UNSC in conflicts after the Requiem Campaign. As support weapons, picking up the gauss turret would result in a lack of mobility.

M57 Pilum Assault Weapon

[edit]
M57

The M57 Pilum Assault Weapon appears in Halo 5: Guardians alongside its mythic predecessor, the M41 'SPNKr' rocket launcher.

It was featured in the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta on the maps Pegasus and Regret. Before the beta, it was originally supposed to be featured on Eden, as seen in pre release screenshots, but didn't make an appearance until later. In the final game, it makes an appearance on Coliseum, Eden and Pegasus.

M80B MLRS

[edit]
M80B

The M80B Multiple Launch Rocket System, more commonly known as the rocket pod turret, is a heavy weapon. It was employed by the UNSC in conflicts after the Requiem Campaign. As support weapons, picking up the rocket pod turret would result in a lack of mobility.
