The seven percent energy release from an H-bomb is not a valid 7 reference, unless of course, Bungie had something to do with how atoms work and the sort.[[User:XRoadToDawnX|XRoadToDawnX]] 17:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

===Technical Details===

The Covenant Bomb is about 2 meters long, 1 meter high and is covered in very large spikes that keep the bomb in place. These bombs are equipped with timers on their detonators and contain [[antimatter]]. Antimatter is extremely unstable, any contact between destabilized antimatter and normal matter causes an instant, massive explosion of gamma rays. However, it is unknown how the antimatter is contained, because if the container was normal matter, it would simply detonate instantly, while if it was antimatter, it would explode on contact with outside normal matter.

An antimatter particle colliding with a matter particle releases 100% of the energy contained within the particles, while an H-bomb (Hydrogen Bomb) releases only about 7% of this energy. This gives a clue to how effective and powerful this force really is.

These bombs are a larger version of the [[Antimatter Charge]]. The Covenant carry these on their ships, likely for use by the ships' [[Elite]] [[Rangers]]. They are capable of destroying entire ships and even space stations, an example being the [[MAC]] stations above [[Earth]]. It is used particularly for boarding, mainly to disable defenses or ships that are slowing down Covenant assaults.
