Incendiary Rifle

The Incendiary Rifle is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 Beta.

What little is known about the Incendiary rifle (or irifle) can be garnered from its appearance in the pre-release "Tunnels" gameplay video, where it is seen used against some Civil Protection officers. The weapon looks almost identical to the final version Pulse Rifle, but fires incendiary bolts which ignite their target in flames. Its magazine of 5 made it much more useful than the Flare Gun.It also had multiple skins throughout the leak (It had 2 skins) and it also in a patched version of the leak had a clip reload animation but it crashed everytime it was played. Perhaps due to the weapon's seemingly limited tactical use, the weapon was dropped and it's model repurposed as the AR2 Pulse Rifle.
