Ostensibly intended for an anti-tank role, Jiralhanae troops frequently take glee in using them as mortars to devastating effect against enemy infantry. Skewers are operated by Banished Skewer-bearers. The Skewer's design is a traditional one of Jiralhanae origin, predating the Brutes' joining of the Covenant hegemony circa 2492. Interestingly, when wielded by the large Skewer-bearers, it resembles an assault rifle, whilst human users instead hoist it over the shoulder like a rocket launcher. They can also be used as anti-air weapons, with the spikes capable of penetrating the armored cockpit of a Phantom dropship. When used against infantry, the force of the projectile impact is enough to send the target flying back, or knock them off elevated surfaces. When ready to fire, the Skewer's spike projectile in the barrel can be seen sticking out of the weapon underneath the barrel is a sword-length bayonet. The Skewer was manufactured by the Forge of Teash and developed by the Flaktura workshop. The launcher has an emitter of some kind, likely of gravitic operation similar to other Jiralhanae spike weaponry, which is used to launch the spike round and can be intensified - presumably to adjust the muzzle velocity of the fired projectile. The launcher fires a "rocket-sized" spike capable of piercing through the armor of a main battle tank, or punch through the energy shields and titanium shell of GEN3 MJOLNIR armor, even from range. The Skewer is an anti-tank weapon employed by Banished Jiralhanae, with such operators known as "Skewer-bearers". " Please never ever get Skewered." - FRET during a War Games simulation.
