Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle

The Z-750 Special Application Sniper Rifle, more commonly known as the Binary Rifle, is a long-range Forerunner weapon appearing in Halo 4. It includes two core-mounted particle accelerators with unparalleled stopping power to bring down distant foes with one shot. The shot, when inflicted on an enemy, causes them to disintegrate, similar to when a Promethean Knight is killed. It also has two zoom modes to fulfill its purpose as a long range precision rifle. The rifle emits a highly visible orange beam from its barrel when aiming, allowing opponents to trace the user's location.

Advantages (Multiplayer)

 * The Binary Rifle is capable of killing a player in one shot anywhere on the body.
 * It is also highly effective against small to medium vehicles, able to easily destroy Ghosts, Mongooses, and Warthogs in one or two shots.

Disadvantages (Multiplayer)

 * When scoped, the Binary Rifle projects a lengthy red holographic sight easily noticeable by other players.
 * The Binary Rifle is extremely inaccurate when not scoped.
 * The Binary Rifle has only two shots per magazine.

Trivia

 * The term binary means something that consists of, indicates, or involves two pieces or parts. This is most likely a reference to the two (binary) particle accelerators, each one similar in operation and power to the Covenant Beam Rifle.
 * Positioned near the scope of a Binary Rifle are two lights, one on each side. These indicate how many rounds are currently in the weapon.
 * An image of the Binary Rifle, along with the Suppressor, was leaked to the public.
 * The Binary Rifle is one of the few weapons in Halo 4 that causes targets to disintegrate from the killing shot's point of entry. The other weapons that yield this effect are the Scattershot and the Incineration Cannon.
 * When preparing to fire, the circular hologram which warns the player that a Promethean Knight or Crawler is using a Binary Rifle is very similar to the hologram created when a Focus Turret is charging.
 * Similar to the other Forerunner weapons in Halo 4, some parts of the Binary Rifle light up when a round is fired.

Appearances
