On-board their targeted Covenant vessel, John displayed a level of strength sufficient to pry open one of the ship's interior iris hatch-panels with his bare hands.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm, page 43'''</ref> A month afterwards, in a Covenant space elevator near the planet Naraka, John used his armor's strength enhancements to launch a Covenant pickup vehicle onto the far side of a large conveyor belt - providing cover for an M41-equipped ODST to barricade himself behind.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm, page 345'''</ref> Later, in the upper-terminus leading to a transit tube, John encountered an emergency iris hatch - this time, denting the thick panels with a frustrated bang of his fist.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm, page 362'''</ref> | On-board their targeted Covenant vessel, John displayed a level of strength sufficient to pry open one of the ship's interior iris hatch-panels with his bare hands.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm, page 43'''</ref> A month afterwards, in a Covenant space elevator near the planet Naraka, John used his armor's strength enhancements to launch a Covenant pickup vehicle onto the far side of a large conveyor belt - providing cover for an M41-equipped ODST to barricade himself behind.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm, page 345'''</ref> Later, in the upper-terminus leading to a transit tube, John encountered an emergency iris hatch - this time, denting the thick panels with a frustrated bang of his fist.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm, page 362'''</ref> | ||
Demonstrated during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, John-117, Kelly-087, and Fred-104 shifted a large, cuboid quartz monolith.<ref>''Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant''</ref> Massing approximately 143 tonnes,<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' novel describes the monolith as being a 3x6 meter shard of silicon dioxide, which has a density of 2.65 tonnes per cubic meter.</ref> this performance of strength would require each MJOLNIR-equipped Spartan-II to apply an average force ranging from 19 to nearly 48 tonnes<ref>quartz-on-quartz is functionally similar to glass, which features a static friction coefficient ranging between [https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/friction-coefficients-d_778.html 0.4 to 1.0µ].</ref> into the monolith.{{Ref/Note|This correlates well with the forces Blue Team resisted in their Mark IV MJOLNIR armor during the Skirmish over Netherop; where the Spartans experienced 30 gees of force against the slingshot maneuver from the ''Starry Night''.}} | |||
Though if the armor takes damage it is no longer vacuum-sealed, this can be rectified using armor patches which seal the holes and make the armor vacuum-sealed again. Mark IV MJOLNIR armor is compatible with the patches used by [[ODST]]s on their armor, making it easier to get extras in a combat situation. This was used twice by [[Blue Team]] during the Attack on Naraka to seal their armor when going into vacuum after the armor had sustained such damage that it was no longer vacuum-sealed. The lack of armor patching during the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]] had forced [[Samuel-034]] to remain behind on the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' to die, causing the Spartans to start carrying armor patches in case such a situation ever arose again.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> | Though if the armor takes damage it is no longer vacuum-sealed, this can be rectified using armor patches which seal the holes and make the armor vacuum-sealed again.
