You mean you never saw District 9? It featured quite prominently there.
Also, in Halo, you are a 7 foot super soldier. It looks about right when a marine is carrying it, though you certainly wouldn't be running around with one.
Also, NTW-14. NTW can swap out between 20mm or 14.5mm.
You're right, it is in District 9 but I had just figured that Neill Bomkamp just grabbed the Bungie prop for the movie. Looks more like the Halo version than the NTW-20.
Also, the Halo version looks a good 1/4 or even 1/3 smaller than the NTW-20... Even when compared to a non-augmented soldier like Romeo:
See, I was thinking Halo 1 (sarge to rifle ratio) when I said that. I remember it being bigger in the first game. In that picture, that magazine is way too small for a 14.5x114mm round...looks closer to 7.62 NATO.
Also, the 20mm and 14.5mm versions of the NTW look similar, but distinctly different. Or at least, they used to. I've seen the 14.5 with a round muzzle brake as well as the flat style.
That's quite a bit longer than most 7.62 magazines I've seen. Looks more like something around the 30-06 - 30-378 range.
Maybe its a compact version :P
I mean, it is the future. Advancements in recoil management would be way beyond what we have now.
Even still, barrel diameter is too small for the huge AT round that it supposedly fires. That's a .50 right there in the picture.Quote:

Um, the shield is plasma after all. I mean, come on. Shits like 10000 degrees. Probably fazes the rounds out of existence instantly.
You saw that shit ricochet off. Ain't nothin' been sublimated.
Yeah good point. damn video games and their lack of realism!
No, it's just frustrating when you know you have a huge gun and you shoot a guy in the head and his response is "Trololololol" as he runs behind cover to let his shields recharge.
