How does it reload by just simply putting a small tube in? And how do the needles on top regenerate from reloading?

My theory is that they are all compressed in that tube and simply expand once inside, although that is just my theory.

Someone in bnet posted a theory that the needles are first liquid when put in to the weapon and they solidify once they come contact with the air.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

I think it's more or a fruit cutter type of mechanism with the rock/material being put inside the Rifle and as it's pushed the rock is fragmented into sharp shards.

This is what I've always thought. The liquid theory also has merit but if it is true that means it solidifies pretty darn quick, which I personally don't see. Then again it's the covenant so I guess it's possible.

Spartans never die... they just revert to last checkpoint.

The chemical reaction theory holds merit because the crystals explode when in contact with flesh, and supercombine when there are enough in the flesh.

It's the same type of ammo in the needler, you put the big crystal in and stuff happens.

somewhere out in the expanse of space beings far greater in both emotion and intellect are looking down on us and pissing themselves laughing.

the needles are likly to be of hunter manufacture like a pizo electric liquid crystal.
