Head Down/ Chin Up!

Was just scrolling through my Reach stats, and was checking my kill/death ratio by weapons and couldnt help but notice that all the covenant weapons have number designations! For example the Needler is designated as a T33 GML - or the Wraith Tank is a Type 26 AGC(Driver).

So who in the Halo universe gives them that designation? I am assuming Humans, because would a Covenant soldier name the weapon like that? And what would that mean? What does the T33 GML mean for a Needler?

(And yes I used the word "designation" far too much!)

GML stands for Guided Munitions Launcher, of course referring to how the needles have some sort of tracking system.

I guess the UNSC or specifically ONI are the ones who classifies all the Covie gear, to have a more scientific sounding name for i.e. the Wraith (Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage).

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

These could also be Covenant designations translated by the humans. For example, type 26 could mean that the wraith is the 26th model of armored gun carriage to be made by the Covenant.
