Artifact/Weapon Name: AR2 Pulse Rifle
Wielder: Gordon Freeman
Type of Artifact/Weapon: Plasma Assault Rifle
Appearance of Artifact/Weapon: The forward part of the weapon contains all the working mechanisms of the rifle - the magazine feed, the firing pin for the energy plugs, the energy barrel, the orb launcher and its firing mechanism.
The energy barrel is suspended over the orb launcher via a short metal beam, and fitted with an armor plate for protection. Inside, the energy barrel is laid with resistant material, which prevents the exploding energy from ripping the barrel apart and helps direct the blast.
The barrel is also outfitted with a set of grips locking the plug in place.
The ammunition cartridges resemble thin drum halves.The ammunition cartridges are mounted into the underside of the weapon and locked in place by a tiny mechanical pincer instead of the gunner's finger.
The firing pin - the firing pin, unlike human assault rifles, does not operate within the rifle's body, but instead operates outside of it, also acting as the hammer. It is also significantly longer and larger than human pins, resembling a long spike. This design is required for it to effectively detonate the energy plugs.
The orb launcher is located directly underneath the energy barrel and in front of the plug cartridge. It is basically a tray outfitted with an AR2 firing pin, large enough to detonate the charge and release the orb.
Origin of Artifact/Weapon: It is manufactured by the Combine Empire, derived from modern human assault rifles for use by the Transhuman Arm of the Overwatch
Special Abilities of the Artifact/Weapon: Because this weapon uses plasma, it is devestating against flesh, and will either vaporize or instantly cauterize organic matter it is turned against. It has two modes of fire: automatic, and orb launch. Full automatic fire possess a high rate of fire, as well as recoil. Orb launch contains inert Combine energy orbs. When detonated, the forward part of the charge disperses into six parts, releasing an energy orb.

Sigh, I'll explain it again...
