Subject: Anyone else see a problem with the combat knife?

Jorge: Bad news is: timer's fried, gonna have to fire it manually.
Noble 6: That's a one way trip...
Jorge: We all make it sooner or later. Better get going, Six, they're gonna need you down there. Listen, Reach has been good to me, it's time to return the favor. Don't deny me this... Tell em' to make it count.

How does a standard issue combat knife penetrate a Spartan's like, $15 billion suit of armor, let alone his helmet, the thickest part... Anyone have an answer for that? Lmao.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

There.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

The black part is the thinnest since its covering the internal tubes and wiring.

Also it's a video game.

I can understand the black parts, because it's just rubber insulation. But that head stab thing the Spartan's do is what disturbs me.

Ok. Spartans are super soldiers.

1 spartan melee can break full shields. With bleedthrough (T.U.), a melee on a person who was shot twice by a dmr will kill them.

Now, with a sharp knife, the spartan's force is the same except it's exerted on a smaller surface area. Meaning, a lot more pressure.

Also, this is assuming that the knife is made out of titanium (equal to armor's hardness) or something harder, so that it won't break.

No, not unless the straw is harder than the tree. I edited my post. Another factor is that the knife must be as hard or harder than the armor, which is made out of titanium. If it isn't, the knife will break.

Ah, but the knife on your spartan is not the knife used to kill your victim, the spartan pulls the killing knife out of thin air.
Magic knife = dead anything.

Hahaha. You're right. Sometimes he makes a copy of the knife by touching the knife on his armor. Bungie was so lazy. lol.

Well, from what I have seen. You need an original magic knife. Then you make knives by acting like you're pulling out that magic knife.

I've never seen a military grade knife made of anything but tempered steel. Standard issue, anyway.

I've never seen armor with regenerating shields, guns that show you how much ammo you have and have bullets propelled by gas. I've never seen a pistol that has an emp. Get my point?

This is the future. Everything's different. The UNSC wouldn't give spartans knives if they couldn't penetrate the elites' armor.

A lot of guns are gas propelled.. And a lot of newer guns have ammo displays as well. And this was Reach, the Covenant weren't supposed to find it. Remember? Lol remember? So I don't know if they could've issued out new knives that quickly. And Elites did have a lot of mushy parts.

On Topic: Reach was the base of everything. They needed tight defenses, so they wanted soldiers to be prepared. Also, there were a good amount of titanium mines in Reach. They could have made the knifes while making the armor.
