The Type-31 marksman rifle is a Covenant infantry firearm carried commonly by the jiralhanae, kig-yar, and sangheili. It is manufactured by the Iruiru Armory.
== Design Details ==
=== Overview ===
The Type-31 is a recoil-operated and charger-fed, semi-automatic rifle that serves as the Covenant's medium to long-range precision weapon. It fires 8.7x60mm ferric-cored, caseless radioactive projectiles at a velocity of 950 meters per second. These rounds are capable of piercing most personal body armor. The weapon's top-mounted cylindrical magazine holds 20 rounds, providing indication of the number of rounds left in the magazine using a holographic display. The main body of the weapon contains two circular openings, the forward one is the weapon's hand guard and the area in front of it is where the weapon's trigger is located. On the weapon's top rail is the magazine well and loader, below it is the firing mechanism. The weapon's 24-inch barrel is insulated to protect the user from the harmful radiation produced by the ammunition.
