Mach 2 for a particle beam is a bit pathetic anyway.
Well it's not surprising, considering many of the weapon manufacturers in halo are complete blam-tards.
2ho has the nerves to issue out weaponry that have ranges less than that of a regular pistol as there main firearms ?
Plasma rifle has only a range of up to 50 metres, the brute spiker has range of up to 40 metres and a muzzle velocity of 76.2 m/s.
Mind you, the guns are the size of regular rifles in the hands of a human, are more pathetic than there UNSC counterparts.
I'm not going to even touch on how horrible that monstrocity the Scorian tank is. I'd be more than willing to bet my life that an M1 abraham is caable of out classing it in every department.If you read any of the thread you would realize that we determined that the ranges that are listed at canon are temporary ranges, as Humans haven't been able to test them out.
Also, yes, the Type-25 Carbine does have a muzzle velocity of 76.2 m/s, but the projectile's size, and shape allow it to stab and dismember foes. Think for a bit before you post.
AHEM
No it doesn't, in all media featuring the spiker, the only thing that gun was able to do was either impale a guy and/or pin him to a wall, in any case those spikes...by conventional physics really shouldn't be able to pierce the body armor of a marine or even a spartan.
If you convert the muzzle velocity to miles per hour that's pretty much 100 miles per hour.
That's horrible, a modern trooper equipped with an M4 could easily out range anything carrying a spiker.As I recall, Books are media too... Also, Your logic doesn't make sense in regards to it piercing armor. If you take a Hammer and try as hard as you can to stab someone with its blunt end, it would be really hard. Now take an extremely sharp cooking knife and stab someone slowly with little force. It's obvious that the knife will be more effective. Who says the spike isn't sharp?
