Didn't the discovery channel do something on anti-matter bombs recently? That would be a good replacement for nukes.



If you wanted to wipe out half of the planet, sure an anti-matter bomb would be a good replacement. Like he said, you only need 0.25 grams of anti matter to level New York, which is a big city. And bombs weigh 300-400 pounds or more. So just imagine how destructive that would be.


You would obviously make it smaller. That might even make it possible to destroy places faster. If 0.25 grams will level new york than you could make small bombs and shoot them really fast and reaaallllly far. WE WOULD RULE THE WORLD!!! USA, USA, USA!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!


Well USA kinda sucks in the creation of antimatter department. They only have straight Particle Accelerators, and thus can only get so fast before reaching the end. The CERN one, however, is ring shaped, and thus can never end (unless you want it to). Because of this, Europe will be better with the antimatter. WOO! EU! EU! EU!

I do understand what anti-matter is, and like the charge, it would be feasible to have an imaginary weapon for an imaginary universe. I thought the concept was cool, ergo i posted the idea. If you really want to talk physics, then half of Halo is not entirely correct.

.25G of anit-matter will annihilate .25G of matter. Period.

Explain.

Plasma weapons are fine. Ionised gas controlled through electromagnetic forces.

Anti-grav technology may just be somthing we don't know about yet.

If somthing is known to not work, it is discounted. Unless feasable proof contrary to an idea is produced, we have no reason not to accept it as tru7h.

Initially yes, but it is the outburst of energy released from the annihilation that causes the mass destruction.

Re: America should have anti-matter weapons...go USA!!


...which is exactly the reason why no one should have them...if we even could.

Have you head of "state-sponsored terrorism?"

So essentially you want a sniper rifle that shoots mini photon torpedoes? Anti-matter is not big rounds. They way an anti matter weapon work is:
* On impact, the anti-matter is released from the projectile.
* When anti-matter reacts with matter, they both combust and create a massive explosion.
* Anti-matter is NOT a stealthy weapon, and sniper rifles are.

Well, GWB thinks nuclear weapons are good, so that means they are...right? I don't like to think for myself...i need Texans to tell me how.

The president doesn't really know a whole lot of anything, actually.

Obviously you don't understand what anti-matter is.

Anti-matter is just that. The opposite of matter. Matter is what everything you see, touch etc is made of.

When Anti-matter hits matter, it "annihalates" (sp?), which is a physics term, which in lamens terms means it explodes.

That means any projectile consisting of anti-matter, would explode on contact with any matter, such as that found in the air in-between your gun and your target.

As such, an anti-matter rifle would not be a valid weapon.

Anti-matter explosive charges however are fine. The anti-matter is suspended in an electromagnetic feild, and once the detonater is triggerd, the feild collapses, letting matter and anti-matter collide, thus the explosion.


Thank's AJHayter. He's right, plus the energy exerted using anti-matter is %100. That means every bit of it is used. Unlike energy now which when combusted hovers around the %5-15. Do you realize how big an explosion could be. You are right though, the Covenant have Anti-Matter charges and bombs, so something more could be added using it. Don't hold your breathe though.

I'm pretty sure that political disscussions are banned from the public forums. You didn't raelly create one, but one will definately come from what you just said.

Here is the deal though, i don't think they actually have created anti-matter in an accelerator. They are something like 90% sure it exists, but never quite have been able to prove it. Check this link:

Anti matter is feasible, but it would be very dangerous and unstable.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

How about adding an Explosive Shotgun and call it the day.

I think Bungie should add another sniper rifle to the line up - the Anti-matter Rifle. Rounds bigger than .50 Caliber, more recoil, longer to reload but highly effective against targets on vehicles. Thoughts?


Good weapon idea, try a different name though. If you had a gun that shot large rounds of antimatter, you can kiss a sizable chunk of the planet you're sitting on goodbye. Antimatter and Matter annihilate each other on contact, with a conversion rate of 100% Mass to Energy; in other words, an amount of antimatter the size of a .50 caliber slug would be the equivalent of a 50 MEGATON NUCLEAR EXPLOSION!!!!

I like the thoughts about another sniper rifle though....maybe like a needler sniper rifle with a longer reload and harder recoil but like homing. So you could paint multiple targets with a sniper rifle.

Here, here is an uber badass sniper rifle with a name similar to "antimatter". The rounds ARE bigger than .50, and it is indeed used to take out vehicles and the like. So far, besides involving complicated ass physics, this weapon fits all of what's his faces' criterion.
