An Alien Gun used in the Bungie game series Halo. In Halo one, like all guns, in halo 2, they became dual weilable, but in halo 3 returned to single weild,
the only one handed non dual gun. The fire long, slightly homing projectiles that explode after enough
hit the target, normally around eight needles judging from halo three. It is mostly used if you dislike the spawn weapon and fear
you will die soon or if you think you may surprise someone. The are used to easily get a "Beyond the Grave" medal in halo 3 since they only explode after a certain time. This is sometimes made in vain since if not enough needles hit, they will not exploded and dissappear as the shield regenerates.
