Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon

The Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon, more commonly known as the Suppressor, is a Promethean Forerunner weapon in Halo 4. Its automatic fire and extreme efficacy at close range made the weapon a favorite of Forerunner troops against the Flood during the Forerunner-Flood War. It fires bolts of charged hard light that pierce and destroy any organic material, and is markedly more effective at closer ranges compared to its Human and Covenant counterparts, the Assault Rifle and the Storm Rifle.

The Suppressor is a primary weapon for War Games and Spartan Ops loadouts, and has one alternate skin available for the weapon.

Trivia

 * The marks left from shooting a surface are extremely well defined hexagons, unlike other non-forerunner weapons of the past.
 * This weapon can be seen as a replacement for the M7 Caseless SMG of earlier Halo games (gameplay-wise, not canonically), having similar damage, rate of fire, effective use in CQB, and the same amount of rounds per clip as the ODST variant of the SMG.
