The Brute Spiker has similar penetration and lethal range to the UNSC M7 SMG, but there are a few key differences. Unlike SMG, there is little recoil, and therefore almost zero “rise” when using them in their default, fully-automatic setting. This actually makes them a little more efficient and accurate than the SMG in combat situations, since there is no need to adjust aim to compensate for recoil. The Spiker performs well against energy shields due to its high velocity and kinetic impact, although the rounds are usually deflected or disintegrated by the energy shield before inflicting damage to any underlying structure. The Spiker can usually kill a heavily armored or shielded target within a single magazine, this killing ability is doubled if the spiker is dual-wielded. Its spikes do terrible damage to human flesh, and can tear through armor with ease, creating devastating wounds that are extremely painful.<ref>http://www.Halo3.com</ref> Its dual blades are very deadly against shielded and unshielded infantry, and can be used to either slash or stab an enemy with fatal effects. A [[SPARTAN-II]] or Jiralhanae can dual-wield Spikers, doubling their firepower. Its a common Jiralhanae tactic when battling UNSC Marines/ODSTs/Army troopers and using spikers, to strafe about whilst shooting spikes at them and manouver themselves into close-quarters where they can melee the latter to death using a combination of their brute strength and the melee power of the Type-25 Carbine.You can reach enemies from great distances and still have the power to impact the big shot
