Mosa-pattern Carbine (Hunting Rifle)

"The Mosa-pattern Carbine (UNSC Type classification: Type-51 Carbine/ T-51 C, and Type-57 Carbine/ T-57 C), is a successor to the older Vostu-pattern carbine. It is manufactured by Iruiru Armory, the design of the Mosa-pattern carbine has its origins among the Sangheili, with a heritage that stretches back to weapons used on Sanghelios millennia ago.

As opposed to the older Vostu-pattern carbine, the Mosa-pattern is much more similar to the classic Sangheili design, though incorporating several modern updates. A semi-automatic weapon, the Mosa-pattern carbine fire 8.7 x 60mm caseless reactive rounds, a projective laced with radioactive isotopes or reactive materials, making it a unique departure from the Covenant's plasma weapons. The kinetic impact of a carbine round is generally sufficient to neutralize a target, but its ammunition is also capable of poisoning over time, eventually causing a lethal catalytic reaction. The weapon features a 2x magnification holographic optic and generally is seen fielded with a 20-round magazine, though 15-round magazines have also been encountered."
