| - The Hard-Sound Rifle is a Human weapon that uses sound waves that are packed in a nutshell instead of something stupid like bullets. The rifle can kill people instantly without any burns or any entry wound. The only thing noticeable is the target's ears bleeding, and probably the target, if they survive at least 5 seconds, drooling and acting retarded because of the brain damage caused by the sound waves. The rifle usually causes enough damage to disintegrate internal organs, unless the rifle is broken. The rifle is a more silent and better version of the crappy Sniper Rifle. It is a weapon that is favored by assassins of the Office of Naval Stupidity, and the weapon can also be found commonly at the back rooms of Wal-Mart, where most civilians obtain it illegally quite legally. No sonic weapons made it, or even mentioned, in any of the Halo games because of many reasons, though, it is mentioned in I Love Bees. In I Love Bees, an ONI assassin, who was disguised a distinct (trust us) hobo, was sent to silence Rani Sobeck, but was killed by Colonel Herzog with a Hard Sound Rifle. The death of the "hobo" was dismissed as aspirin and alcohol overdose. So, you see, the Hard Sound Rifle is a very good weapon that should have been a good replacement of the Sniper Rifle in Halo 3 or Halo Wars, but Bungie and Ensemble Studios didn't think so.
- A Hard sound rifle is a human-made sonic weapon originally intended for use in assassination missions against political leaders. As it utilizes concentrated sound waves instead of a solid projectile (such as a bullet), a Hard sound rifle kills the target instantly and leaves no residue or powder burns and causes little noticeable external damage to the intended target, making the weapon virtually untraceable in forensic investigations. This weapon usually causes damage by obliterating internal organs. It is a preferred weapon by assassins of the Office of Naval Intelligence, though they are occasionally illegally acquired by civilians, oftentimes for less malevolent means. The Hard sound rifle can be used as a more efficient and more stealthy variant of a Sniper Rifle. Although sonic weaponry doesn't appear in any Halo games, it is mentioned prominently in I Love Bees when an ONI assassin, disguised as a homeless man, was sent to kill Rani Sobeck for her investigation into a covert evacuation of the Human colony of Troy, a protective detail dispatched by Colonel Herzog eliminated the operative through use of a hard-sound rifle. Having fallen off the roof to the street below, local authorities dismissed the death as an accident resulting from use of alcohol or drugs.
