The Type-25 Carbine is an automatic projectile weapon designed and used by the Jiralhanae. The Carbine fires long, sharp projectiles made of superheated metal, which give the weapon its common label of "Spike Rifle" or "Spiker." Two large blades made of [[tungsten carbide]],<ref name="bnet"/> an extremely strong and durable material, are mounted under the barrel of the weapon, allowing it to be used as an effective melee weapon in close quarters. The Spiker's ammunition is fed into the weapon via a small drum magazine with a 40-round capacity. The drum magazine is located on the underside of the weapon, behind the blades and in front of the trigger. | The Type-25 Carbine is an automatic projectile weapon designed and used by the Jiralhanae.

The Type-25 Carbine is noted to perform admirably in a wide variety of environments; it is a widely held belief that the weapon could sit unattended for several weeks in an active latrine and still operate as issued without maintenance. | The Type-25 Carbine is noted to perform admirably in a wide variety of environments; it is a widely held belief that the weapon could sit unattended for several weeks in an active latrine and still operate as issued without maintenance.

The Spiker was used by Jiralhanae forces during the initial skirmishes on Harvest in [[2525]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 345''</ref>, and would remain a staple weapon of the Jiralhanae throughout the Human-Covenant War. The weapon is based on the Jiralhanae's native pre-[[Covenant]] technology, and is thus far less advanced than the weaponry used by other members of the Covenant; however, its effectiveness has allowed it to compete quite well with other small arms used by the Covenant. The Type-25 Spiker was detested by the [[Sangheili]] due to its primitive origins, but the weapon was allowed to be serviced in low numbers.<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 190''</ref> | The Spiker was used by Jiralhanae forces during the initial skirmishes on Harvest in [[2525]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 345''</ref>, and would remain a staple weapon of the Jiralhanae throughout the Human-Covenant War.
