weapon calcs.
Posted By: johnconstantineDate: 3/9/04 5:13 a.m.

Has anyone ever made any kind of serious cross-section guide to HALO including weapon calcs, ship speed, etc? I'm looking specifically for info about Super MAC and MAC guns as well as Covenant ships, Archer missiles, Shiva Nukes, etc. I plan on making an in-depth cross-section guide to HALO similar to the cross-section that's out for Star Wars.

I have another question in particular:
On pg. 283 of "Fall of Reach", Nylund stated that the SMAC round travelled at "point four-tenths the speed of light".
This doesn't make much sense. Did he mean .4c or .04c? I have assumed thus far that it was a typo and he meant .4c since the Covenant ships are so extremely tough, especially since it took the 'Commonwealth' 90 Archer missiles, 2 MAC rounds, 1 Shiva nuke and a squad of Longswords to cripple (not destroy) a Covenant ship (1/3 it's size no less). I would say that's roughly the equivalent of 5 Teratons (roughly).
