I think it should have a better title because the Enforcers fire flurries of red individual non-explosive needler-like projectiles.A beam is a whole single stream of something.--0nyx Sp1k3r 01:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)BLARGH!!!

I think the name pulse beam is a horrible title for this weapon, I believe Sentinel Needler or something similar would be better. Pulse beam refers to a directed energy weapon fire in bursts, ie sentinel beam, or maybe plasma rifle/pistol, not a projectile weapon. Zuranamee 14 December, 2007

There is a second article named 'Heavy Needler' which is dealing with the enforcer mounted weapon as well; one should be deleted! I'd also like to add that almost every time I saw this weapon mentioned before, it was named the flechette gun. Perhaps that is a more apt name? Diaboy 16:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

In other places I have seen this weapon refered to as an "Enforcer Needler". Perhaps the name should be more related to this. BellicoseIntellect 00:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

RelentlessRecusant: They are called Pulse beams, though I apologize that I am able to recall where I had seen this information. Why they are called Pulse beams is beyond me. And referring to the last comment, there is no way they should be called Enforcer needlers. Enforcers were designed by the forerunners, and the needler comes into existence after this. Also, the abilities of each weapon are completely different. I can research it if you like though RR? It's probably just from a games magazine somewhere, lol. ;)
