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

[edit] Overview
The IRifle is essentially a multishot Flare Gun, with five rounds per magazine. If a flare hits a target, it will automatically be set on fire. However, the flare tends to quickly hit the ground soon after it is fired, making the weapon ineffective past short range.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- The IRifle model was recycled for the AR2 Pulse Rifle, with slight changes.
[edit] Trivia
- The IRifle is one of the few unreleased weapons shown in pre-release material, appearing in the E3 2003 video "Tunnels".
- In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The IRifle is among them.
- The AR2's model still uses the name of the original model ("v_irifle").
