Nox Fury IV, a rare fusion rifle.
Fusion Rifles are an energy-based, medium ranged special weapon category in Destiny used by Guardians. These weapons must be charged up to fire, while each charge speed varies per weapon.[1]
Fusion rifles' over-penetrating burst fire, incredible power, and advanced energy disbursement technology make them "a favorite of daring weapons collectors."[2]

Although fusion rifles such as the Conduit F3 have numerous similarities to other primary weapons such as Pulse Rifles, including in appearance, burst-fire configurations, and assault-style sights, Bungie has described at least one Guardian loadout as containing an Auto Rifle (a primary weapon), a Sniper Rifle (a special weapon), and a fusion rifle,[3] strongly suggesting that the fusion rifle is a heavy weapon.

Design and Inspiration
Fusion rifles are a new, emerging technology for Guardians, reverse-engineered from technology captured from hostile species.[2] Early fusion rifles were deemed inherently unstable and suffered from possibly faulty radiation shielding.[2] Modern fusion rifles such as the Conduit F3 solve this problem through a barrel configuration that "dampens the wattage use needed to power the inertial chamber".[2]
Notably, the magazine of the weapon is a large, battery-like object inserted directly into the flat bottom of the weapon when reloaded.
