UNSC classification:

Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle, T-25 DER

General Information:

The Okarda'phaa-pattern Rifle, more commonly known as the plasma rifle or plasma gun, is a fully automatic rifle, formerly serving as a Covenant infantry weapon. It was the primary weapon of the Covenant's officer corps, standard issue to Sangheili and Jiralhanae. The Type-25 DER was one of the earliest and most frequently encountered Covenant plasma weapons. It occupies a role very similar to the human assault rifle.

"You know, it looks delicate and so you feel like you need to hold it kinda gingerly—but then you see an Elite crack a Bravo Kilo's head with one—the things are built tough."

— Anonymous UNSC serviceman
