Needle Pistol

Were you looking for the Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher, also known as the Needler, or the Type-31 Rifle, also known as the Needle Rifle?

The Needle Pistol is a Covenant personal handgun used by Sangheili.

Description
The Needle Pistol is relatively small, with a Sangheili being able to operate it one-handed. Like its larger cousin, its projectiles are capable of exploding when embedded in living tissue. It is more powerful than the Needler but fires semi-auto. It has been seen to strip a Shipmaster's shields in a few shots, although it is possible that it can supercombine in organic armor, like the Needler variant used in Halo 4.

History
The Needle Pistol has been seen used exclusively by Sangheili Separatists, specifically Voro Nar 'Mantakree. It saw deployment during the opening hours of the Great Schism and during the Battle of Onyx. It appears to have been a sidearm for Covenant leaders, with more power than a common Plasma Pistol.
