Greetings! This unofficial thread serves the purpose of calculating the amalgamations of generally rather impressive post-war UNSC accomplishments, and how they differ retrospectively ranging from during the human-covenant war, modern military, or even (dare I say) the peak of the Ecumene/Forerunner Empire – be it industrial capacity, fire-power, artificial intelligence etcetera etcetera. Feats included are requested to be backed up with sources from official Halo media, and any contradictory examples from a more recent source should discrete from the former and be ranked as either a low, mid, or high-end achievement unless canonically described by a writer from 343 industries.
Okay, let’s get started!
I’ll start with the M395 Bullpup Designated Marksman Rifle. As seen here [DURATION: 6:00], it is capable of producing enough kinetic energy to cause 162kg Promethean Crawlers to explode upon impact – the same machines the Master Chief struggles to tear apart as seen when the player assassinates them in the Halo 4 campaign. According to Frank O’Connor, Spartans are capable of flipping an M808 as mentioned in the Halo Legends - Homecoming Blu-ray Developer Commentary, rendering the Crawlers with an impressive level of tensile strength.
