Simple. It is a energy field that is in such a state that all energies that interfere with it are repulsed in a slippery like movement.
So... your explanation for why the shield is slippery is that it is slippery...? You're not validating the basis of your objection to the knife.
Anything? Nope. Bulletproof vests are designed to take high impact rounds, not a slower moving/ non-hyper velocity object. Meaning going through kevlar is no problem because it is not a sudden impact like a bullet. And we are talking energy, not the normal human physical stuff here. As for the crossbow. Yes it can penetrate, but I own three AR-15s(civilian M16s). They make cynder blocks turn to rubble. With just one shot. Don't try me on guns, I know too damn much.
Here you're admitting that knives work better against impact resistant armour then bullets do. Hence supporting that knives would be useful. I would be insane to argue this point.
The Chief in all true Bungie storyline purposes can't lift over 77 tons. Maybe 3, but not 77.
Okay, considering the average rifle has kinetic energy of between 2000 and 3000 ft/lbs I don't see your point. Assuming the Master Chief can only put a single ton, a literal ton, of force behind a knife's pinhead... Well, that would be a big number and very highly penetrating, much more penetrating then a rifle round. Knowing ballistics you would agree that higher energy over a smaller impact area results in greater penetration correct?
Also the knife would break, as I have already stated.
It might break- yes. However you are assuming of course that in 500 years metallurgy hasn't advanced in the slightest or that they might have thickened the knife to industrial machining standards.
No, it would be insanely weak, not powerful. Knife go snap real easy. As for the plasma sword...that is another lecture all together.
I doubt it would be insanely weak. Still, I wouldn't want a knife in a game of Halo, I'd rather rip off the plasma sword. Oh, and lecture away. I like it.
