SPECIAL FEATURES

• Spikes: The weapon fires a barrage of super heated metal spikes, tearing through opponents with ease.

Strengths:

• Pain: The super-heated metal cuts through enemies like butter, firing twenty-five centimetre super heated spikes at a high rate of fire, quickly riddling an enemy with incredibly painful wounds.
• ​Metal bypass: The super-heated spikes dive through armour like nothing, quickly cooling down upon impact as to not carbonise the wounds, just burning enough to cause extreme pain.
• Puncture: These shots can easily puncture through duracrete walls to hit targets.
• ​Heat: Over time of use, the weapon will steadily heat up, making it almost impossible to be used by anything other than the resistant Draelvasier.

Weaknesses:

• Two Hands: For any infantry other than Baedurin, this weapon requires two hands for usage due to its heavy nature.
• ​Reload Speed: The weapon has a slower reload speed, as the weapon typically requires a small cool-down period after use.

DESCRIPTION:
The Barad Spiker was designed with the intent to supply special forces with a more competent standard piece of equipment. The Spiker is built as a supplementary assault rifle that can be used as a one handed weapon or two handed for more accuracy by Bryn'adûl Baedurin soldiers.

Looking over the submission it is almost a carbon copy of the Type-25 Spiker from Halo and previous submissions which have been denied such as the Bryn'adûl | Wendigo Spiker.

A few of the similarities, which you were notified of on previous submissions, between this submission and the Type-25 spiker can be listed below.

1) Name

Your weapon is actually called a spiker, while the Halo weapon is also known as a Spiker. ​

2) Image

While an image of the Halo Spiker alone is acceptable, this combined with the name and the other similarities makes this too close to being a carbon-copy of the Halo Weapon​

3) Ammunition

Like the Halo weapon, this submission uses super-heated metal spike to bypass armour. ​

​

From your submission:​

Metal bypass: The super-heated spikes are well equipped to deal with armour - able to melt through most armours with direct strikes

From the Halo wiki:​

These spikes are capable of piercing armour and flesh

4) Two-handed

From your submission:​

Two Hands: For any infantry other than Baedurin, this weapon in its more armoured variant requires two hands for usage due to its heavy nature.

From the Halo wiki:​

The Spiker was engineered by the Jiralhanae as a weapon intended to be held in one hand by a standard Jiralhanae soldier, though its size and weight mean it must be carried in two hands for use by human infantry

The similarities between these two quotes speak for themselves.​

The Factory rules clearly state:

Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Small excerpts may be included from other sources in a sub, but they must include a credit, link, and be clearly marked.

And this submission is a clear copy of the Halo Weapon.

In order to make this submission something that is not a copy of the Halo weapon I believe would require a complete rewrite.

For that reason, I am going to retroactively deny this submission. If you disagree with my reasoning, or with my judgement you are welcome to request a second chance thread.
