As I mentioned in the new gun thread, my idea for a new weapon is this.
The Sentinel laser rifle, a silver colored, rifle shaped weapon that fires a blue sentinel major beam, but much smaller.
The Sentinel laser rifle uses battery power, while the blue laser beams are much smaller, compared to a regular sentinel beam weapon, this weapon can be reloaded.
As for the creation of this weapon, different factions of Forerunners had different uses for the Sentinel Major, for some, the gold Sentinels were used to great effect on containing and repelling the flood, for places like the Ark, they decided instead of using the gold sentinels, they took the laser parts, and remade them into turrets.
In Harvest, with the lack of effective weaponry, one Forerunner decided to make a Rifle based of a laser part of a Sentinel Major, and used them to great effect on the flood.
Of course, now in Reach, these rare weapons are highly valued by the UNSC and the Covenant.
(Sorry for the made up lore, but I decided to give a background on my weapon idea, and why such a weapon would be created)
