Did I say the needler had a scope?!?!?!

Just look here. If you look at the second from the top (middle column) there is an excellent shot of the needler, look how big it is. Then look at the thing the jackal is holding.

it has a scope

To answer this *Slaps PREDAT0R across the face with a large book*
We are looking at the underside of the weapon (whatever it is) and there would be nooooooo way to tell if it has a scope.
Now to the weapon the jackal is holding: It aint a needler, if you look at the shape you can tell the needler doesn't have that kind of nose, it is to big to be a plasma pistol or rifle, and it is too short to be a carbine.
My guess:.... hey beats me probably a new gun.

agamemnon is right about the scope but i doubt that he has seen the new needler.. because if he did it would be so easy to understand

go look for the new needler, its longer and the nose is wider.. it fits the discription so much better.. and also you can see the god damn spikes

I have seen the new needler and that aint it. It is about the size and a little the shape of the needler but it is too angular to be the needler, the bottom is slightly angular without the curve. The big thing is the barrel, the needler barrel is strait and then it angles up. If it were the needler we would be able to see that angle, the barrel in this photo ends much like the carbine barrel does

You must remember that needlers kinda cup around your arm, therefore some of the arms length is inside the weapon itself.

do you know how ppl walk?? when ppl walk their arms swing.. his left arm is just in the apex of the swing so it looks shorter.. you guys need to look at the NEW NEEDLER to tell just go look for the god damn thing or someone plz post it.

Maybe we can even get a Mod her to confirm that its a needler

the needler is bulbous around the mid section.. and that gun is bulbous around the mid section, has spikes, and is too long/short to be a plasma pistol/rifle

Look again at the photos, the barrels are slightly different in shape.

EDIT: Not to mention that the carbine barrel is much thinner.

It does look a little like the needler but its to angular and the barrel argument i gave in my last post. The only Way ill belive its a needler is if bungie says it is

exactly if you are looking at the side the barrel looks like this \__

in this photo we see it drop off not slant and drop off.

It's a bit too dark to tell, but it almost looks sort of like a cross between a needler and carbine. I am also puzzled by that tiny green light to the left of the gun the Jackal is holding. Where is that green light from? It may be a clue to what this gun is.

Whaaaa!?!?! Please explain farther, I don't quite understand what your saying (no, I'm not trying to be offensive). The end of the needler barrel curves like this: \_/ and the end of the carbine barrel just goes straight down like this: |_| just like the barrel of any modern day weapon.

If you turn up your brightness, there is another jackal in back... that jackal has a plasma pistol (no question about it) and that is where that green light is coming from. It is not related to the weapon we are arguing about.
