Details
The Covenant Needler is a large blaster. Its design is based on the Type-56 Needler from the Halo video games. The blaster has storage for up to eight darts on top, which also double as the needles that stick out of the weapon in its video game counterpart. It has a built-in light that activates on trigger pull, lighting up any darts loaded into the top dart storage; the light has a power switch on the left side of the blaster. The blaster has a rapid-fire ability, similar to that of Nerf slam fire.

It advertises a firing range of sixty feet (eighteen meters).

Color schemes
The Covenant Needler has been released with the following color schemes:


 * Blue, light gray, black and cyan
 * Bronze, light gray, black and cyan

Reloading and firing
To reload the Needler, load up to eight darts in its front turret. Pull down on the bottom half of the blaster until it locks into place; this primes the blaster.

Pull the firing trigger to fire a dart. Return the bottom half to its original position to re-prime the blaster.

To rapid-fire, hold down the trigger while repeatedly priming the blaster.
