Wouldn't the needle rifle's needles act as bullets though, seeing how it can propel a needle, say, almost as far as the DMR? (using an example only) in the same speed?This is what I think too, Needle rifle =/= Needler. Similar ammo, but not exactly the same. (Or it's about how the weapon works, and ammo is the same. We haven't seen needler mags since Halo 1.)
They still don't show ANY AP qualities. If a needle rifle round an go clean through a MJOLNIR Mark V helmet, then it would pass straight through a grunt's entire body. What purpose would the super-combine feature serve if it did that?
The whole design of Needle-based Covenant weaponry is to fire hard and sharp needles into soft targets. When the needle explodes it causes a lot of damage to soft tissue. If the needle rifle had AP qualities it would pass through soft materials, going against its purpose. It would also not be sticking 50%-75% out of "soft-targets"Gameplay =/= canon, and where you get this:The whole design of Needle-based Covenant weaponry is to fire hard and sharp needles into soft targets.We have seen two needle weapons.
