[edit] Overview
Some Synths and mechanical units are equipped with pulse weapons. Some pulse weapons are handheld and can be carried by Combine units, others are either stationary and / or unmanned.
Pulse weapons have a distinctive, cyan triangular muzzle flash that is likely related to their ammunition.
