Subject: NEEDED: Needle rounds in detail

I have an odd request. I need a Hi-res, detailed picture or illustration of a needler/needle rifle needle round as a reference for an art piece I'm doing.

I have thoroughly searched the internet and spent a few hours in theater mode trying to decipher it myself. However, both weapons fire so quickly that it's hard to see detail, even on a frame-by-frame basis.
And, as we all know, resolution on small, fast-moving objects in game is pretty minimal. The engine has better things to do than render minute detail on every bullet lol.

Maybe what I'm looking for exists in a really obvious place, but I don't really have that much time to devote to finding it. Can the community help me out?
Thank you!

Go into theater and look at it while its still sticking out of the top of the gun. Because that's part of the gun model its bound to be more detailed than the projectile itself.

Is this what you are looking for?

Sort of? It would be really great to see JUST the needle. Like the image that they plugged into the game to make the needles suspended in air. It had to be detailed at one point, right?

This is the best that the file search turned up.

You have no idea how game engines work do you?

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about programming or code. My 99% of my work resides in graphic design and the stationary, 2D realm of things. However, I do know that at one point someone had to make a 3D object with a colored skin for the computer to access in order to make an image appear on my viewing device. I doubt that initial image makes it very far in it's full quality, but I was hoping someone would know where to find it.
That said, I guess the headshot picture in the previous post is a good start. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the Halo Reach Needle Rifle is hitscan, meaning that the round actually never exists before it hits the final target, which happens instantly.

one way to look would be to check a halo 2 pic of a needle since those needles were really really slow

Unfortunately, networking=/=graphics.

Just keep looking, I'm sure you can find one somewhere. that pic with the headshotted spartan looked pretty good.
