Gavel Rifle

==Operation==
The Gavel Rifle is about twenty centimeters longer than an M90 Shotgun, and has to be used in both hands. It fires a high energy plasma beam similar to that of a Type-50 Sniper Rifle. However, the beam is a fluorescent green, and is fired with micro-shavings of gold. The gold is coated with a virus that prevents cellular mitosis, preventing wounds from healing. It also acts as a blood thinner, so any bleeding wound won't heal easily, and the victim will likely bleed out.
When the beam makes contact with an organic object, all the energy is transferred to a small area, and will instantly blow a human into chunks. Mk. VII MJOLNIR armor seems to deflect the shots fairly well as the powerful shields turn most of the virus coated gold away before it impacts. However, a Spartan will still get shredded if their shields are down.
==History==
The only one known to use a Gavel Rifle is the Judicator, and the weapon itself has no known origin.
==Advantages==
Very powerful. Even if the initial shot does not kill, the damage will most likely leave the victim crippled, or a virus will be a strong factor to their eventual death.
==Disadvantages==
Slow firing rate. High recoil.
