LAU-65D/SGM-151 Missile Pod - ONI Variant
UNSC Variant
The LAU-65D/SGM-151 Missile Pod is a specialized mobile missile platform. It serves as an assault and mortar weapon. Despite the size and weight of this weapon, it proves to be a highly versatile weapon, capable of either being docked on a tripod, or carried around by personnel. In a tripod configuration, the weapon is stationary, but, can be attached to an ammunition feed, allowing the weapon to fire continuously without stopping. In its mobile configuration, the LAU-65D/SGM-151 Missile Pod can hold eight small but highly explosive missiles. The onboard computer that is built into the weapon allows this weapon to lock onto vehicles and heavy armor.
DUe to the sophisticated tracking system, the LAU-65D/SGM-151 Missile Pod can be used as both an anti-armor and anti-air solution. When positioned correctly, as few as a dozen missiles is all that is required to cripple the legs of a Scarab. DUe to the technical and configuration limitations of this weapon, it is unable to hit anything that gets too close, nor can it track personnel in the same way it tracks vehicles.
ONI Variant
The LAU-65D/SGM-151 Missile Pod- ONI Variant is the standard sniper rifle that has been designated exclusively for ONI personnel. Still filling the same functional role as its UNSC Counter-Part, this weapon takes advantage of a few design tweaks to make it more mobile when not docked on the tripod. This weapon is standard issue on all ONI ships as of 2555. ONI marines can be seen using this weapon when deployed in the field.
The weapon sports a very stylish semi-matte black finish on the rubber grips, with a slight navy blue polish on the metal. This weapon has been upgraded to offer more versatility and higher reliability than the UNSC counter-part. Like its UNSC counter-part, it is a very effective anti-armor and anti-vehicle weapon system. However, additional hardware and functional upgrades have enabled this weapon to aquire target locks on personnel, as well as vehicles. This upgrades makes the upgraded version of this weapon much more effective at dealing with hostile ground forces. Additionally, a more powerful payload is used in the weapon system, increasing the destructive power of the weapon.
Director Vernette's Personal Notes
A giant missile pod... it is supposed to be mounted on a tripod for easy use...but our Marines and ODSTs think it is fun to detach them and go crazy firing missiles all over the place. Good... our enemies will think twice before crossing a crazy human with a high capacity, semi-automatic, ordnance launcher. As an interesting sidenote, during the invasion of Jorum... I saw ONI Marines bring several of these onto a Brute Scarab and literally destroy opposing forces that tried attacking the Scarab. A perfect example of harmonic use of Human and Covenant technology.
