[edit] Weapon Symbols
I've noticed that Shock Coil is the only article out of the MPH weapons with a picture of the corresponding symbol. Does anyone know how/where to find the pictures for the rest of the weapons?
Also, just as a small aside, has anyone else noticed how some of the weapon symbols look like the alt form for the same hunter? TwistedNerve 02:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I also noticed this. I also found that the OMega Canon symbol looks like gorea in his final form holding the seal sphere. Phazon Phantom 11:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hnh, I hadn't noticed that about the Omega Cannon, but it does indeed.
- I noticed someone uploaded the rest of the symbols too, but now I'm wondering where they're from; their overall look and the animation don't seem familiar.

I uploaded those animated gifs, but i'm not sure where they're from. I just was google-ing, and a page came up with al they MPH animated gifs. If anyone has an idea where they came from please tell me. Metroidblurrr238 16:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Actually Work?
From work i've done with a particle accelerator, i have to say that this weapon would, with all due respects, do absolutely no harm to the target. Because, well, neutrinos are harmless. In fact over a billion pass through your finger nail every second, so if you got some proof that this would in fact damage someone, please post it, because this is just wierd to me.

I think the key words are concentrated and high density. I don't really know much about Neutrino's, but i assume that the concented beam would be billions upon billions of them and when you get to that amount it does cause damage.Of course this is just an educated guess...

I know where you're getting at, but one thing i know. Through many, many scientific studies, neutrinos are known to have absolutely no harm on, really anything. They don't effect water, they don't effect living things, and simply put they dont effect any form of matter. They're "harmlessness" is believed to be caused by the fact that 1.) They have an extremely low mass, in fact it is so low that for most of the time they were known to exist, they were thought to not even have a mass. In other words, they are on the brink of physical existence. And 2.) They are electrically neutral, meaning they have niether a negative (-), nor a positive (+) charge. However, one thing that crossed my mind is, well, Metroid is in the future. So maybe they have developed some type of way to radify neutrinos so that they reach harmful, if not radioactive levels. So i guess what i am saying is, "untampered" neutrinos are more harmless than white light, much more harmless. Piratehunter 04:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- According to Sylux's scan from MPH (This hunter's power suit appears to be based on a Federation prototype and possesses extraordinary offensive and defensive capabilities. Sylux's weapon is the Shock Coil, a banned technology that fires charged blasts of high-density neutrinos.) they have indeed managed to give neutrinos a charge in the Metroid universe. TwistedNerve 19:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Also consider the fact that if the charges were the same it would go out almost at 180 degree angles from the beam. And if they had different charges they would stick too and neutrilize each other turning it into a chargless mass that has no effect any way you look at it. So this weapon could never work. Science fiction is fun but not all of it could work in reality. Metroidhunter32 02:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. It's nice to know someone sees this the way I do. It really wouldn't have a chance of working, unless of course they managed to enhance neutrinos in a way that it would work, like I stated before. Piratehunter{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs) 16:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Purest Fiction?
Why do we need the Purest Fiction subsection? I don't see it in any of the other sections concerning the Metroid Prime Hunters' weapons. Someone please give me a reason to keep that section. MarioGalaxy 01:01, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I added that information, but I named it "Behind the Scenes". I don't know who renamed it or why, but i'll go ahead and re-rename it. Piratehunter{ROLLBACK} (Talk•Contribs) 14:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
