Firearms Expert Reacts To Halo Franchise Guns

I love how he understands this is a game and doesn’t just critique the game for not having realistic weapons or functionality or when even with the smgs there should really be no recoil for chief, he understands that a game just can’t do that and it has to have some challenge when using the weapon

I think you missed the best part of the spiker outside of the blades. Its basically a compact rapid fire rail gun that fires super heated 6 inch long tungsten spikes. In canon the spikes shred basic armor and flesh and can even pin targets to solid surfaces.

Funny thing about the Needler lore wise: It is unknown to the UNSC how the magazine connects to the shooting mechanism. Only thing that is known is that the crystals are kept apart a bit because once enough are too close to one another the material goes critical resulting in an explosion. Also the crystals stick out for melee purposes and because it looks cool ^^

The needler is really interesting. In the lore, needler weapons were created by the elites and not copied from forerunner tech at all. But the elites have no clue how it works, just that it does.

What would be cool is seeing a gun expert and a Halo lore export together to really dive into the weapons. Still a great video, but that would take it to the next level. To see if the lore explanations actually hold up or not when compared to reality.
