==Not Merging==
Note to everbody, stop merging the Fuel Rod Gun and the Fuel Rod Cannon together. They two are totally different articles. Its the same as Chicken Soup and a Chicken Burger.

Difference between Fuel Rod Gun and Cannon? I DOUBT IT!--[[User:JohnSpartan117]] 05:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

:There is a difference, the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] is similar to a [[Plasma Pistol]], it charges up and has a semi-homing effect, and also has 100% ammo when full. It also has an energy core, so, when the Fuel Rod Gun reaches 0% ammo, it cannot be replaced unless a new one is picked up. It is not reloadable, however, the [[Fuel Rod Cannon]] is reloadable and does not home. It does not have an energy core and does not charge up. Oh, and the Fuel Rod Gun can only be seen on Halo Pc.
wait the FRG has the five or so projectiles coming out of the top of the gun and the FRC has the battery like clip so does anyone else think like this or is it just me

there is no real difference save that Bungie named the PC one gun apparently. They are exactly the same, save one uses an energy core. However, the gun system itself is the same.
--[[User:Zyrin]]05:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
:The one in the PC version was thrown in by gearbox, they just assumed it would be battery powered, like all other covi weapons at the time, besides, if its lableed 'Fuel Rod GUN' in the halo 3 game, manual, and plaers guid, then I'm pretty sure its called a Fuel Rod Gun

I'll second that. Everyone that's plowed through the material, the game, and every other bit of bungie canon in calling this a fuel rod cannon should be shot.

The Fuel Rod gun is handheld whereas the cannon is a vehicle weapon. Even if they're similar they're not the same. It wouldn't work putting them on one page. It's like putting together the assualt rifle and the machine gun on the warthog. [[User:BananaCat|BananaCat]] 23:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

== Merge with fuel rod gun ==

its been confirmed that they are the same weapon. get over it [[User:Ralok|Ralok]] 21:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

No. A Fuel Rod GUN is Purple, has an arching projectile, uses a battery, and can overheat.
A Fuel Rod CANNON is yellow, has very little drop, uses a clip, and cannot overheat. [[User talk:Spartan-777|Spartan-777]] -It wasn't a "shootout", it was an armed disagreement...

== Slow-motion realization ==

If you watch a FRG during saved films, slow it down and take a closer look: You can actually see the rod being surrounded by the radiation, no longer just a green blob of death. Ahh, the wonders of saved films! [[User:Kap2310|Kap2310]] 22:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== Merger with Fuel Rod Gun ==

I suggest that this be merged with Fuel Rod Gun. It is actually the same weapon, and contrary to popular belief, the Fuel Rod Cannon's name is interchangeable with the Fuel Rod Gun, and those "mistakes" are not mistakes at all. Even the Plasma Sword was merged with the Energy Sword somewhere in the start of last year. There's no need for 2 separate articles.

The PC version Fuel Rod weapon is a bit of a red herring. It is completely different in terms of appearance from the armament the grunts have during the missions in Halo: Combat Evolved. The weapon they are armed with is the same as the T33 AAW, so the differences make very little sense. However I feel that as they are effectively the same weapon, so even if the tactics for use have changed, they should be merged. The fact that it is noteably different can be mentioned ina  subsection of the article. As far as I am aware, I thought that it was Gearbox's 'artistic license'that brought about the Fuel Rod weapon in Halo PC? [[User:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 11:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

'''Strong Support''' - I really don't see the difference between the Fuel Rod Gun and Cannon, apart from it being mounted on a Wraith. -[[User talk:Rebel grunt|Rebel grunt]]

The merger is definitely a good idea, but the line must be very clearly drawn between the two. Statistics and perhaps a comparison section could be added. [[User:Ghost sangheili|Ghost elite]] 18:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

====Neutral====
THIS IS JUST CONFUSING! They are heavily diferent weapons by traits and usage and even recieve different pick-up names! its a lot like the M6D pistol and the M6C magnum, significantly diferent by traits and usage and called diferent things.


I think the best way to sort this is to merge the two different versions but clearly show the features of the Halo PC Fuel Rod Gun in the Variants section (The PC FRG is more like the HCE-era Assault Cannon IMO, oh and why is the assault cannon mentioned in the fuel rod cannon description in the variants section?).

::Actually, it's just that the "Gun" is battery operated, firing sound is different, damage is different, and bolts have a more arc-like trajectory. They are, in fact, the same weapon. Many weapons, such as the Plasma Rifle or Plasma Sword have different sounds, damage and stuff from the Halo 2 and 3 counterparts. Trust me, they are as different in function as this Fuel Rod Gun/Cannon thingy.--[[User:Spartan781|'''<font color="LightGrey">Sp</font><font color="DarkGray">art</font><font color="Gray">an-</font><font color="Black">781</font>''']] [[Image:Seaman.png|25px]] <sup>[[User talk:Spartan781|<font color="black" face="Arial">Comm</font>]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Spartan781|<font color="black" face="Arial">CSV</font>]]</sub> 04:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

#They are two completely different weapons. Some differences are: the "Gun" is an indirect-fire energy MORTAR but the "Cannon" is a direct-fire energy weapon, the "Gun" is battery powered and the "Cannon" is ammo powered, the "Gun" has 13 rounds and the "Cannon" has 30, the "Gun" has a "dead-man switch" but the "Cannon" doesn't . The only similarity's are that the ammo and battery's are green and that they are shoulder-mounted weapons. [[User:Delta-269|Delta-269]] 22:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

#I agree with Delta-269. This gun has had so many several changes that it has resurged as a "new" weapon. Just take a look to the "new" Halo 3's Rocket Laucher.

deserve their own seperate pages...the two assault rifles ..MA5B and MA5C have different pages? So why not the fuel rod?

#What they said

== Clips/Magazines ==

There is always a large ruckus when someone says 'clip' instead of 'magazine', so I feel it is safe to say that this should apply the other way round. The FRG doesn't load with magazines; you can see the individual fuel rods being inserted, and the only reason they don't fall apart is due to some sort of a holding device/clip. The magazine (if the FRG has one) would be what you load the clips into, and would be fixed internally to the FRG.<br>
[[User:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 14:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


Agreed. That is the proper way to use it. A magazine is the bit that holds the amunition before firing(weather its a detatcable box, drum, ect mag, or a fixed internal mag) were-as a clip is a thing that holds the cartridges together before the go into the magazine.[[User talk:Maiar|Maiar]] 10:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


I'm glad to see that someone knows the difference. It gets tiresome to constantly correct it. [[User talk:Smoke.|Smoke.]] 15:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Maiar: What you're referring to is what we call a "stripper clip". I forgot the actual name for it, but it makes sure the rounds go into the magazine quickly and correctly. An actual clip is something like the M1 Garand rifle uses - it is loaded into the rifle, and serves the role of a magazine. When all rounds are used, it is ejected automatically. <span style="color:#4C8844">'''Smoke''' <sup>[[User:Smoke.|My page]]</sup><sub>[[User_Talk:Smoke.|My talk]]</sub></span> 20:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Why is this weapon too strong? The Rocket Launcher is in MM, why not the FRG? Just remove some spare clips and it should be OK. [[User:SQ G T3rr0R|SQ G T3rr0R]] 17:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

== Fuel Rod Failsafe in Halo PC ==

The article currently reads: ". . . as there were fail-safes that made the weapons self-destruct with the force of a Fragmentation Grenade (This is a slight incorrect reference, as a Fragmentation Grenade would have a bigger blast radius. It would be more accurate to say the explosion would have the same force, appearance, and effect as one of its fired bolts)."  I have determined exactly what the explosion is using Halo Hacker Tools.  I found that it is identical to the explosion of one of the rods (effe: weapons\fuel rod gun\effects\explosion).  I have checked this, and I found five dependencies.  I looked them up in Halo Mapping Tools:

*jpt!: weapons\fuel rod gun\explosion
**Range: 0.5 - 1.5 (a fragmentation grenade's range is 1.5 to 2.5)
**Damage: 40 - 75% of Master Chief's shields on Normal
**Force: 4 (equal to that of a fragmentation grenade)
*pctl: weapons\fuel rod gun\effects\hunter fuel rod explosion
**The green sparks created by the detonation of the rod
*snd!: sound\sfx\weapons\fuel rod gun\explosion
**The sound of a fuel rod exploding
*jpt!: weapons\frag grenade\shock wave
**Causes the same screen shaking as a fragmentation grenade
*part: effects\particles\lens flare\flare h stealth cannon
**Unknown

To summarize what I found:
*The shield/health damage is slightly over half that of a fragmentation grenade and has about half the range.
*The shake effect is identical to that of a fragmentation grenade.
*The knock-back is identical in magnitude to that of a fragmentation grenade and has about half the range.


Conclusion: <u>The fuel rod gun's failsafe is identical to one of the bolts in force, appearance, and effect.  But fuel rods and guns explode with the same force as a fragmentation grenade.  The comment should be integrated.</u> [[User talk:An elite &#39;92|Jora &#39;Mantak]] 04:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
