Talk:Ajax's Spear

"Possibly a reference to the movie Troy: When Achilles storms the Temple of Apollo, he grabs a spear and hurls it a ridiculous distance toward Hector."

Ugh... "he movie Troy" was based on a poem thousands of years old called "The Illiad", and Ajax was one of the generals of Agamemnon's army. This has nothing to do with Achilles.

While Atlas seems to have a tendency toward Greed mythology/names, I have to agree with the first poster. A reference to the movie Troy would indirectly also reference The Illiad...and the movie seems to actually have a scene that is epitomized in the red text of the weapon. My submission for the effect is the combination of constant high accuracy and scope, and decent damage of the weapon...thus making it able to "kick bitch ass" over a "ridiculous distance"...thoughts? :) Arandil23 01:12, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Still has nothing to do with Achilles, the Illiad has him wounding Hector with a thrown spear and a large rock. See the Illiad or Ajax (Mythology)-Wikipedia          DraconisOminious 21:15, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that, when aiming down the iron sights, it's INCREDIBLY accurage for an automatic rifle - May be that I just don't use them much, but still. Would fit with the idea of a spear; all the energy is focused down the shaft, to a single point on the spearhead --loony24680

Two things ive noticed about this gun

1 It always fetures recoil reduction.

2 Always is accurate when ADS A Lonely Nomad 22:59, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Red text effect
I assume the red text effect to be the combination of the unqiue barrel and materials as the title itself has no effect

Barrel improved barrel5 with higher damage (0.25 instead of 0.15 increase) and drastically reduced recoil (pershotaccuracy impulse -2 instead of -0.5)

The material is a minimal buffed atlas3 without the atlas typical slight worsened recoil

So the Observation is right, this weapon is drastically more accurate with less recoil and a slight damage increase over other support machine guns with barrel 5 and atlas material3

I don't know about anyone else, but this is easily the best guaranteed-to-drop gun in the game, IMO. Not only is it relatively powerful and very accurate, but it looks great as well. I found one in PT1, and I'm still rockin' it ha;fway through PT2 with great results.
