Okay i was in science class today and my teacher said that menthane is flammable and i then remembered that grunts breath menthane. Right? So if they breath that and if you shot them in the rebreather or whatever that is, if theirs something exploded nearby or something that is on fire shouldnt the grunts like, u know, explode.

Wouldnt that be tight! "Oh look johnny set the tree on fire with his new flamethrower. Oh here come a grunt." BANG "what the...." BOOOOOOOOM!!!

Grunts on fire......sounds like a musical.

If your looking for an active clan who doesn't talk "trash", allow cheating at all, and has a good community then check out our site.

Yes it is methane and yes in theory they should explode when there breathing apparatus is ruptured with bullets, but obviously they don't.

He is an idea... dont be a little girl.

Answer Now is sure a nice way to place it.

Female dog.

And here is an idea, you know we have this thing called Science?
We need Oxygen yeah?
Well, we don't breath 100%.
We go scuba diving with about 20% Ox. and the rest inert gas.

SO, JUST MAYBE, the methane is considered dangerous...
Just maybe the advanced race figured this out...
So, it may be a mix of Methane and some inert gasses.

The correct mixture will allow it to NOT explode when exposed to fire...

In the Halo novels, they explode if their breathing apparatus is shot.

Exploding Grunts would be an awesome feature for Halo 2! Yes, Methane is flamable, and even if the grunts only had 21% Methane in their apparatus (we got 21% oxygen in the air) they would still take a great amount of damage. Imagine you can't see them burning, but their lungs burn, and they run around all going nuts and you can't see what's happening. Would be totally awesome.

The balance of oxygen in our atmosphere is very precarious. We breathe 21% O2, at 15%, we'd suffocate and at 25%, things would spontaneously combust continually. I'm thinking that maybe a semi-explosive round (e.g., pistol round) would cause an explosion.

DAng your right that would be awesome!
i can imagine me (my very violent self) sniping grunts in the rebreather only (if this feature was implemented) just to watch them squirm and DIE!!!
MUHAHHAHAHHAHAH!!!

okay thats enough drugs for now.
just kidding

I'm suprised only one person said this. We breathe 21% O2 kinda like the grunts except it is 21% methane. Oxygen is very flammable. Yet when people get shot in Iraq, are they exploding? No. The same for the grunts, except it is 21% methane.

well grunts do breathe methane, but maybe its only a small percentage out of all the other elements combined to make their atmosphere

but in their home planet won't there still be loads of methane in the air? cos theres loads of oxygen in the air its just mixed with other gases and it's not flamable...
Imagine lighting a cigerette on their home world then BOOOM... there is no planet....
