The Halo2 arsenal
Posted By: Roger Wilco <flxible289@netzero.net>Date: 9/6/02 5:01 p.m.

First off, let me say that the trailer was fucking brilliant. I think that about covers most everyone's feelings on the matter so, enough said. I'll bring up some thoughts and observations in another post.

On to the weapons. What with all the nukes going off in that trailer I got to thinking about...well, nukes. Since they seem to be one of the few weapons that are effective against Covenant defenses I figure we oughta be using more of 'em. The planet looks pretty screwed anyway.

Now, I have been known to post some questionable material, but I think you will find the following links to be at the very least, entertaining.

http://www.vce.com/grable.html
The Atomic Cannon. Just what it says...do not miss the movies about halfway down the page, particularly the first one. Btw, I think most of the stuff on these pages would definately fall into the "only in America" category.

http://www.vce.com/atomcentral.html
The home of Atomic Central. Just a good site for Atomic material. If you have never seen Trinity and Beyond I highly recomend that you do. Available for purchase.

You know, Davey Crockett the nuclear bazooka. Actually, Strykerwolf's nuclear bullet reminder me of this and sort of started this whole thing. I am just a pawn.

Story from a guy who was assigned to the squad that tested the Davey Crocketts. One of which didn't fire...dud propellant. "With a great deal of caution we removed the round from the piston..." Read on.

A complete list of all U.S. nuclear weapons. Aptly named page. The Mk-54 is the warhead for the Davey Crockett and the W-54 is the warhead for the Falcon air-to-air missle. Check the pics.

I thought Daiseycutters were big bombs. This one weighs almost three times more. The second image on this page is a classic in my book.

If all else fails. While this page is obviously rather tounge-in-cheek, the weapon in question is real and I've seen footage of it being fire. Not at all a pretty sight.

Well thats it. I hope that at least some of you enjoyed that. Cheers. RW.
