More like a single-hand held shotgun rather than a pistol, it is lethal in close combat and can be used as effective melee weapon (like more Brute weapons) and has a blade on the underside of the weapon. heavy and cumbersome to suite the brutes and only Spartans can use the weapon effeicently as it is very heavy and large for standard humans to use.
Type-25 Carbine[]
'Spiker' or 'Spike Rifle' as it is sometimes know because of the large superheated spikes fired by the weapon. it holds a 40 round magazine and has 2 large blades at the front making it a deadly melee weapon aswell. even though called a carbine, it is more like the M7 SMG than anything else and has a high rate of fire. Designed more to caause pain and injury than death, it allows the brutes to 'finish off' the enemy and aslo as a psychological weapon.
Type-25 Grenade Launcher[]
The 'Bruten shot' is the main support weapon for brute infantry and fires 4 grenades in about 3 seconds. The grenades are designed to detonate on impact but they have a 3 second fuse so they dont go to fair.

The 'Spike Grenade' is only used by Brute infantry and uses the same spikes used by the 'Spike Rifle'. When the weapon explodes, the blast is minimal at best and doesnt cause any real damage. The real Dealy part of the weapon are the Large superheated spikes released by the explosion and can cause horrific wound and impale anyone in 11 metre radius.
Type-3 Anti-Personal Incendiary Grenade[]
This 'firebomb' is used by special Brute infantry and causes a 3.5 metre explosion of flame. The flames continue to burn for a few seconds at superheated temperature.
