Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon

The Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon,Halo Waypoint - The Halo Bulletin 8.15.12 more commonly known as the Suppressor, is a Promethean Forerunner weapon. It fires bolts of charged hard light that pierce and destroy any organic material. Its rapid firing rate made it a favorite of Forerunner troops against the Flood during the Forerunner-Flood war. It is more effective at closer ranges compared to its Human and Covenant counterparts, the Assault Rifle and the Storm Rifle.
