Halo Mauler

The Type-52 Mauler is used by the Jiralhanae as a handgun, although human military experts have classified it as being more of a handheld shotgun than anything else. The magazine holds 5 7.9mm metal bolts, which appear to be constantly kept at superheated temperatures before being fired. These bolts appear to fragment upon being ejected from the weapon, creating a scatter-shot effect reminiscent of human shotguns. Like all Jiralhanae weapons, the Mauler is equipped with a small blade underneath, making it a formidable melee weapon. The Mauler first saw use during the Battle of Gbraakon on Doisac, shortly after the Jiralhanae's global war. After that, it became the favored weapon of Jiralhanae security forces, and would not be seen by humans until the Battle of Earth.
