Naming
Dear all,
I wasn't aware that these weapons had been named...:-)

I think it should have a better title because the Enforcers fire flurries of red individual non-explosive needler-like projectiles.A beam is a whole single stream of something.--0nyx Sp1k3r 01:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)BLARGH!!!
I think the name pulse beam is a horrible title for this weapon, I believe Sentinel Needler or something similar would be better. Pulse beam refers to a directed energy weapon fire in bursts, ie sentinel beam, or maybe plasma rifle/pistol, not a projectile weapon. Zuranamee 14 December, 2007
There is a second article named 'Heavy Needler' which is dealing with the enforcer mounted weapon as well; one should be deleted! I'd also like to add that almost every time I saw this weapon mentioned before, it was named the flechette gun. Perhaps that is a more apt name? Diaboy 16:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
In other places I have seen this weapon refered to as an "Enforcer Needler". Perhaps the name should be more related to this. BellicoseIntellect 00:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
RelentlessRecusant: They are called Pulse beams, though I apologize that I am able to recall where I had seen this information. I can research it if you like though? It's probably just from a games magazine somewhere, lol. ;)
