Geth Pulse Rifle

The Geth Pulse Rifle is a highly-accurate, high-powered, advanced energy pulse assault weapon manufactured by the Geth Armory corporation, run by the Geth from the Perseus Veil. It is the standard infantry weapon for the geth military, and is standard-issue to many of their troops, including Juggernauts, Shock Troopers, and many other geth units. Some were occasionally known to be found outside of geth space, sold by merchants such as the Normandy Requisitions Officer, although whether the geth themselves sell the rifles to these merchants is not known. As they are synthetic lifeforms, and as such, have no use for organics, such trading is not likely. It is a more likely scenario that they are taken from dead geth soldiers, or are stolen, and then are leaked onto the black market, through which more scrupulous dealers eventually acquire them. These weapons, oddly, are not modifiable, and as such, cannot be upgraded. This is probably due to the often bizarre technologies the geth use, making them incompatible with more common technologies, or conflicting for other reasons. The pulse technology used in these weapons apparently extends to other geth weaponry as well, namely, the weapons of geth recon drones, and seems to have a particular affinity for ripping through kinetic barrier shields, as evidenced by the death of Richard L. Jenkins on the planet Eden Prime. The body of Nirali Bhatia may have been withheld by the Alliance for research into better defenses against geth pulse technology, as the body had apparently been heavily damaged by the discharge of these weapons.
