Of course, when holding a human weapon, then this pattern is not so prevalent, but it is identical for all Covenant weapons. With the Carbine's grip and stock design, it leads to a very obvious example of clipping. The Elite's fingers are gripped upwards on the handle, the top thumb seems to go through the first hole, but then the clipping occurs. | Of course, when holding a human weapon, then this pattern is not so prevalent, but it is identical for all Covenant weapons.

The bottom | The bottom thum clips right through the bottom part of the weapon, and reconnects with the other thumb on the inside of part of the hand. While this is inevitable because of modeling practicalities, it makes it hard to tell exactly what is the correct position for an Elite's digits while holding the weapon. | ||
At first, it looks like the bottom thumb will grip around the back of the bottom protrusion below the primary grip, while the top one will go through the circular hole directly behind the trigger grip, which the two fingers grasp. But despite the large size of the Elite's hand relative to the weapon, it does not look like a comfortably fitting way of holding it. | At first, it looks like the bottom thumb will grip around the back of the bottom protrusion below the primary grip, while the top one will go through the circular hole directly behind the trigger grip, which the two fingers grasp.

Another possibility is that while the top thumb goes into the hole, the other three digits grip the primary grip and trigger area. | Another possibility is that while the top thumb goes into the hole, the other three digits grip the primary grip and trigger area. | ||
Another | Another more likely possibility can be seen in the Tan colored Combat-Harness Elite from McFarlane Toys, which comes with a Carbine and Gravity Lift. In that case, the only part of the Elite's hand that grips the Carbine's handle are the two fingers, while the two thumbs are clenched, resting on the outside of the weapon. This seems most plausible, for that pattern fits with how Elites hold other Covenant weapons, like the Plasma Rifle, Pistol, Beam Rifle, and especially the Energy Sword. | ||
Given McFarlane's accuracy with their action figures, this is probably how the Elites hold the Carbine, and the oddities are the result of the geometry clipping, for when you look at the inside part of the Elite's arm, it severely clips into the Carbine. | Given McFarlane's accuracy with their action figures, this is probably how the Elites hold the Carbine, and the oddities are the result of the geometry clipping, for when you look at the inside part of the Elite's arm, it severely clips into the Carbine. | ||
