So, forgive me if im wrong here, but you know how one of the melee attack animations for the needler is backhanding someone with the needle side of the gun. Well wouldnt impaling someone with all of the shards like that make it supercombine in your hand, killing both you and the enemy, or at least maiming you?
I remember having that thought when first playing CE back in the day. Really it’s just a cool animation, and Bungie went with the “rule of cool”. Essentially, if something is cool, it doesn’t necessarily have to make perfect sense.
I suppose for head canon purposes, you could say the shards in the top of the needler aren’t primed or activated yet, so they’re inert until fired.

I agree. The needles would supercombine in the gun is they were active. The gun is unshielded and the needles are in close quarters.
