In canon?

Headshot or no headshot, against anything and everything, how would it do?

Only because of the shields. Normal armor would be easily penetrated.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

I don't think there are any parts in the book showing the beam rifle in action but seeing that it is a sniper rifle that fires a beam i would think so.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Anyways, to take down a regular marine, two shots should incapacitate, but a Spartan II? I'd say a couple more unless it were a headshot, which would be a universal one-hit-kill.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Halo: Bloodline shows a Carbine to completely melt the face off of a Spartan wearing Mk VI armour, so I don't see why a PBR wouldn't with a headshot, as in the following scene in the comic the Mk VI's sheilds take the shot and disrupt the sheilds.

In memory of Flip-Yap

2 shots. Unless a headshot.


Remember sierra 117 on legendary at the beggining?
You take one step and they kill you. Theres no beating those 2 jackals.

Which Spartan is that? I don't remember any of Black Team getting shot in the face?

I do miss the beam rifle, i do not however understand how bungie could justify replacing it with the focus rifle.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Something had to replace the Sentinel Beam.

Depends who takes hit.

Well the Beam Rifle has more penetration then the UNSC Sniper Rifle so I'm guessing it'll be pretty powerful.

The 1 shk thing is just Bungie cheapening up the difficulty. You'll notice when you use it, it's quite underpowered, even against your own marines unless you go for headshots. Why, it's half the damage of the CE sniper (this is an understandable change. Allies spawned with it as well and they could easily betray the player. Also, it was pretty easy in CE to betray marines).

I think it'd be an instant shield remover but it wouldn't kill very quickly unless it hits something important (brain, heart, etc.). Intense pain obviously but I don't fear it as much as other weapons.

Even with Halo 3 and ODST's nerfs, people were still complaining about them. They aren't that bad.

I guess the complainers never fought Drones...

That I know, as I have killed at least 2000 of those pesky Jackals on Legendary, dying to shots in the foot.

I want to know whether it could in canon travel through shields and armor.
