Talk:Paegaas Workshop Spiker

Naming Dispute
I think we should name the article "Brute Spiker" or "Brute Spike Rifle" and have it's technical ONI name, Type-25 Carbine be included within the article as an "also-known". I think that its most common name should be used, for the same reason we do not call the M6D article the Model 6D Pistol article or the SRS99D S2 AM sniper rifle article the Sniper Rifle System 99D S2 Antimaterial Rifle article.

To support this, if you go to Halo3.com the section where it talks about the Brute Spiker designates it as the "Brute Spike Rifle". I think we should call it that then. Justin Time 22:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * We usually use the technical and official designation for weapons and equipment like this, because "Spiker" is only the weapon's nickname. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Images
I see no reason to keep the bigger image when we already have an up-close shot of the gun. It seems to me that all guns are dual-wielded the same. BTW, sorry for the typos in my earlier summary. --Dragonclaws 04:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I think, that if it's going to be one shot or the other, that the one of the Spartan dual-weilding should be kept, as the spikers are much more visible in it.


 * Note that when I posted that comment, the article was in a different state. The image I was refering to was a poor magazine scan. I now believe the images are okay. --Dragonclaws 22:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I dont tink theres much need 4 that video, i have a better 1 here


 * It says there that it's for a modded map. That means it's not canon, isn't official, and shouldn't be used here. I know your intention is good, but I just don't think that's a good example. However, the video link does need updating, because that video is no longer there.  guesty - persony - thingy  21:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

No, if you click "here" it goes you to you tube.The video with the modded thing is "CMT's Spike Rifle".-Spartan-007

To me, the weapon looks a bit unstable. If someone were to dual weild a pair, the bayonets would weigh down the front of the weapon (unless made of a super-light alloy), making it very hard to hold.-- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  04:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

It could be a super light alloy because the covenant have a whole arsenel of unknown alloy so you never know--The Chazz025 and Clan [Razu'Kuzumee] 04:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Tungsten is actually a very heavy alloy, and the weapon itself is described as being so heavy it can only really be wielded by someone with prodigous strength, i.e. a Spartan or a Brute. (Note Bungie's commentary on it) -Anon

No marines have been shown to be able to use them to, based on those field reports. I think it takes great strength to dual wield them for long periods of time, strength like really strong humans, Spartans, and Brutes have. Justin Time 22:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Counterpart: Shotgun???
I don't understand why the shotgun is listed as the spikers counterpart. According to the bungie article the counterpart to the spiker is the SMG. The shotgun and spiker dont even function remotely similar, their only resemblance being that the spiker resembles a cut down shotgun sha dow in the pri sm 21:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Reference should be removed. -ED 22:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Halo 2 pistol
What do you mean the spikers are as useful as the halo 2 pistol?

firearm type

How come it is a carbine if it is automatic because a carbine is a semiautomatic rifle.--0nyx Sp1k3r 20:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

-Generally, a carbine refers to a 'short rifle', regardless of it's fire mode. e.g., the M4 carbine fires semiauto or 3 shot burst

sorry .I read on that on another site, I guess not everything read is true.--0nyx Sp1k3r 19:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)BLARG!

when did jackals
in any novels it does not say that jackals wielded the spiker.Halonerd

Yeah, were did all this illegal side arm stuff come from? --Climax Viod 12:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Metal Spikes?
Where did the information come from that the spikes were metal?Sorry it's just that I have a theory that would make little more sense then metal spikes.I think the spikes come from some kind plant or animal from the brute home world as come from a natural resource and they use them as weaponry (like how south american naitives used the venom from poisonous frogs for blow darts).Nobody would think of it unless it was inspired or discovered.Besides isn't strange they would manufacture metal spikes?--0nyx Sp1k3r 19:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)BLARG!!!!

TWO FOOT LONG SPIKESAND FORTY TO A MAGAZINE?1
I'm sorry buit exactly how large is the spiker? I mean it fires tweo foot long spikes!! How could its magazine even hold forty of them!!

Well alien weapons are larger than human weapons, the brutes are bigger than human ,to them its like an automatic pistol but compared to our guns it could be called a rifle and because most things look larger in real life than measured in fiction and or maby'e because the spikes are really thin so even though they're long, they could have more room in then gun.--0nyx Sp1k3r 14:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)BLARG!!!

What? Two foot long spikes? That does seem right at all. Perhaps the information is wrong or the ammunition expands somehow when coming out of the gun. Justin Time 22:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
