YES! The cerebral bore is my favourite weapon of all time. It's even better if you have the memory expansion pack, ooh, hi-res gooshiness, then BOOOOM! I reckon that was the inspiration for the needler, but sorry bungie, yours didn't have 3 little hooks and a drill....
For those that haven't played Turok 2 for N64, it's a thing that looks a little bit vaguely like a needler, except without the spikes, and it has glowing blue lines on the side.
It locks on to an enemy's brainwaves, then when you fire it it sort of goes on a bit of an indirect path to their head.
3 hooks snap into their skull, a drill then bores into their head, making the most god-awful bit-drilling-into-bone noise, and sending an arc of red and grey liquid flying about 4 or 5 metres.
That takes about 5 seconds, then it blows up in a bright blue version of the needler explosion, taking the dinosoid's head clean off at the shoulders.
The best bit is that they fully realise what it does, and try madly to get away before it clamps on. Once it does, they're paralysed, but still roaring.
Right up until they have no head... excellent... 8D
