The mystery gun charges four shots, the first one going in as soon as you pull the trigger. once the four shots are "loaded", you hear the beep say they are ready to fire. When you fire this weapon, the shells/plasma archs into the air, and while in the air is then armed, at which time hits its target and explodes.
It is most likely a bigger version of the fuel rod cannon. I fyou remember, when you fire the Fuel Rod, it shoots a small projectile that for a short period is not deadly at all, and in fact bounces off of anything it hits, then less then a second later is "armed" to explode on contact.
This is similar to that, only, my guess, is used for an attack at long range, a sort of barrage, if you will.
my only confusion is the fact that you hear the sound of the projectiles as if you were right next to them the entire time, even after being fired. it might be because they play the sound clip in its native state, without the illusion of "perspective", so you hear every part of the sound effect before its put into the game world.
i am confident in my prediction.
something else that it slightly reminds me of, is the weapons used the variant of the wraith tank, that basically rapid fired Fuel Rods, using them as Flak. This could be a small, personal version of such a thing. so going off of that theory, i predict, in multiplayer games, this will essentially replace the Missile Pod (or the Covenant version of it) for anti air/ground vehicles, but i could be wrong in that belief.
