Type-32 Mauler

The Type-32 Mauler is a sidearm used by jiralhanae infantry and security forces.
== Overview ==
The Mauler is based on the jiralhanae's pre-Covenant technology and has been in use since pre-Covenant times, it is used by the jiralhanae as a handgun. Like the larger spiker, the Mauler fires superheated tungsten-carbide spikes capable of piercing most body armor out to medium range. Ammunition is fed from a 10-round detachable revolver-type drum magazine.
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. It was first encountered by UNSC forces during the Battle of Vodin in 2532, where it was used by jiralhanae shock troops attached to the First Fleet of Glorious Consequence. 
During the Battle of Installation 05, the Covenant occupation of Earth, and the Battle of Installation 00, jiralhanae shock troops utilized Maulers that had been modifed to fire 12 gauge shotgun shells.
