<s>After some thought about the Type-25's projectiles, I considered a more likely mechanism than the "self-forging projectile" idea I put forward before.

<s>For those who don't know what extrusion is, it is used in a variety of ways, from creating metal rods, strips of plastic, candy, or perhaps quite familiarly, toothpaste coming of the tube, it all involves a common process. An amount of soft and flexible material, such as superheated metal, is placed into a cavity with a compression component behind it. In front of it, the cavity is shaped and has a hole where the material will exit.</s>

<s>When it is compressed in the forward direction, the material is forced through the opening or die as it is called, and takes on a thinner, elongated shaped.</s>

<s>As for the Type-25, I would imagine that the weapon is both mechanically operated like a Human/UNSC weapon is, as text from the Bungie article mentions, but augmented by battery technology, in this case Covenant tech. As the projectile is put into the firing chamber, heated, and expanded, there is a die that forces the heated material into an elongated 'spike' as it leaves the weapon. As for the spike's length, think of how toothpaste or glue becomes so long if you press for too long.</s>

<s>That could help explain how the spikes are as long as the length of the magazine to the tip of the barrels or more; the heated ammunition is traveling forward and quickly through the weapon's internal die that it elongates so dramatically, but still moves a good distance down-range.</s>
