::Legends should be the last thing to look at for any sort of worthwhile information, the sword cannot block bullets, theoretically it could block one at best, but it blocking a barrage of bullets at close range is not possible. The thing is too small to act as a real shield. Also something like the Sangheili curve blade should have its own article since it is not actually related to the energy sword.

:::As full of mistakes as it is, Legends is still canon. Anyone who say otherwise is being ignorant. Add it. While the sword is way too small to be an effective shield in any way, the sword '''has''' been seen to block bullets point blank. This could be explained by the strength of the magnetic field used to contain the large quantity of plasma. Maybe the "deflection" is an illusion and the intense heat of the plasma just eats the small bullet's mass right up. This seems to be the more likely option and is a pretty realistic explanation. | |||
:::As for the curveblade, definitely start a new article. I'll have to go read that story again, but what you're describing seems to indicate that this "curveblade" is the same metal sword used by Haka(?) in the Legends episode The Duel. Guess I'll have to check.--[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 12:20, April 9, 2010 (UTC) | |||
