[spoiler]*A Wild Gringo has appeared*[/spoiler] So if you haven't seen, Bungie makes a lot of strange weapon names and descriptions. Here are the explanations for some. Badger CCL is "Badger Couldn't Care Less". LDR 5001 is "Long Distance Relationship" plus "five hundred and 1" is just outside the average restraining order. Telesto- Telesto is actually a moon of Saturn. The weapon was formed from a remnant of the Reef's weapon, the Harbringers. They were used against the Hive during the Battle at Saturn's Rings and destroyed Telesto in the process. No Land Beyond- A Quote by a WWII Russian sniper Gjallahorn- In Norse Mythology, the Gjallahorn was a horn blown to signal the beginning of the end of the world. Another NitC- "Another Nail in the Coffin" TFWPKY 1969- "The Fall Will Probably Kill You..."- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, made in 1969. The quote is completed with "..., but if that doesn't, the bullets surely will." The Trolly Problem- A moral experiment of which you stand by and let more people get killed or go out of your way and only get one person killed. Two to the Morgue- "They put one of ours in the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue."- The Untouchables [spoiler][quote]Two To The Morgue could have a different reference as well, judging by the flavor text "[i]you know the old saying[/i]" The saying has several variations of course, but the one I believe it means is "When you seek revenge, first dig two graves".[/quote]- TheFishE77[/spoiler] 123 Syzygy- A reference to an astronomical phenomenon where celestial bodies align. Also it is a catastrophic event detailed in the Books of Sorrow. The Devil You Know/ The Devil You Don't- "The Devil You Know is better than the Devil You Don't." Against All Odds- The description is "Threat assessment calculates your odds of survival at 3,721:1...unless you pull this trigger." In The Empire Strikes Back, C3P0 says "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one." Time On Target: TOT is a military term which means to fire all artillery at one target, at one time. One Way Trip 000- 000 is Australia's "911". This means you're going to the hospital and not coming back. Zero Point LotP- "Life of the Party!" Up The Ante- A Poker reference. In the old days revolvers were common ways to settle gambling disputes, as this is a Handcannon. Pax Totalus EPR8- Latin for "Total Peace". Which isn't a fitting name for something created for murder. One/One Synesthete- Synesthete is when the brain connects two unconnected stimuli. Like you hear your car honk and think of the sweet taste of Maple Syrup 1000 Yard Stare- A blank stare a vet gets after experiencing emotionally traumatic events. (Insane1rish) The Ram- A reference to a Dr. Who creature who was Ramlike and made people worship him. Loner.Rebel-From Peewee's Big Adventure. "You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." Loner, Dottie, rebel -> Loner Dot Rebel -> Loner.Rebel (Lootcifer) Up For Anything- Its description, "Risk is its own reward" is a reference to Swiss Linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure. He was quoted saying, "Risk-taking brings its own reward: it keeps a continual agitation alive on the heart." This would tie into the name as, no matter what you do, you will gain purpose from it. Zombie Apocalypse WF47- The WF seems to stand for "Wichita Falls", where a large Zombie Crawl takes place annually. I can't seem to find where the 47 comes in. Eyasluna- Latin for "Hawk Moon." (Or Baby/Little Hawk Moon. I am getting conflicting responses)-PandaTaco, Powershelf, etc. Hawksaw- A reference to Seattle Seahawks. Bungie has stated that they love the Seahawks (They are based in Washington) to the point where the Sunbreaker Hammer looks like a Seahawk (yes, they admitted this). The description, "A Northwestrly wind is blowing." Is an obvious remark that the Seahawks come from the American Southwest. Hereafter- The description, "Huddled at the mountain's base, we had no choice but to beat our ploughshares into swords once more." is a reference to a part of The Bible, where farmers have to "Beat their ploughshares into swords" (meaning use their farming equipment as weapons for defense) BTRD-345- "Be The Real Deal". Do that and you'll be "better than the rest." -KingGenius777 Apple of Discord- A reference to the Snow White tail. The name is representative of the magic apple Maleficent gave to Mrs. White. The description, "For the farest" is a reference to the fact that that Snow White was "farer" (prettier) of the two, and the apple was intentioned for her. It seconds as the Apple of Discord from a Greek Myth. The story went that Eris (The goddess of Discord, not the Destiny character) had a contest to see which goddess was the most fare. Because she was the goddess of discord, or conflict, the threw the prize, The Apple of Discord, into the group causing a dispute between the Goddesses over who won which eventually led to the Trojan War. Shadow Price- A Shadow Price is when an object has more value than originally apparent.-c111whelan999 Red Death- A reference to Edgar Allen Poe's [i]The Masque of The Red Death[/i] where a plague manifests itself as a living being to kill a noble and his staff.-Kongu2525 [b]also[/b] in the novel [i]The Shining[/i], the idea of the "Red Death" from Edgar Allen Poe was actually planted in the main character's mind which showed that he was going insane. The phrase [i]"The Red Death held sway over all!"[/i] cropped up during his periods of insanity frequently.- Rickylumic 77 MIDA Multitool- MIDA: Martian Interplanetary Defense Alliance: Multi-Tool. If bungie is sticking to it's Halo roots with the U.E.S.C Marathon. Jade Rabbit- Several cultures have recognized a "Rabbit on the moon". The Chinese version, the Jade Rabbit, was seen pounding a mortar and pestle, creating the elixir of life which makes their gods immortal.-H111xPower Three Little Words- a reference to the King Lionidas (Spartan King) statue. On the statue are three words "Come and take", which is rumored to be the King's response to the Persians demand that the Spartans lay down their weapons.- The Breezy Bree Monte Carlo- Monte Carlo is a city in Monaco (south of France). It is a lush city based on gambling, and the name "Monte Carlo" has become "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth" The Comedian- A reference to the DC character, The Comedian, a member of the Watchmen group who carried around his lucky shotgun.- TheBrownieD2W EVERY OMOLON WEAPON- Powershield [spoiler]Thesan (Thesan FR4) was the Estruscan God of the dawn and divinity. The Flavour text pints this out: "Hasten the DAWN with the new Omolon Thesan FR4." Eirene (Eirene RR4) was the Greek god of peace and Spring. The flavour text says "A new Golden age is on the horizon. With the Omolon Eirene RR4, you'll be the first to see it coming." This, I believe, is saying about how a golden age means PEACE, and comes around like the season of Spring. The Kumakatok (Kumakatok HC4) were basically 3 Philippine Grim reapers who knocked on your door and brought bad omens. This is referenced in the flavour text: "When the Omolon Kumakatok HC4 comes KNOCKING, even the Darkness locks its doors." Uffern (Uffern HC4) is Welsh for hell, as referenced in the flavour text: "Omolon's Uffern HC4 sentences the City's enemies to BURN" Susanoo it may make more sense to say it is Japanese as well as it being the Shinto God of storms and water. Flavour text says: The fearsome STORMS of today become the healing WATERS of tomorrow. Cocytus (Cocytus SR4) is the river of wailing and one of the 5 that surround the Greek underworld. Flavour text says: "The Omolon Cocytus SR4 will DROWN your enemies in a RIVER of pain. Tuonela (Tuonela SR4) is a Finnish hell. The flavour text says: "Hell will freeze over before the Omolon Tuonela SR4 will fail you." This is referencing how Tuonela is a hell yet Finalnd is very cold, hence it freezing over. Uzume (Uzume RR4) is the Shinto God of revelry and the dawn. They've already used dawn with the Thesan so they kinda just winged this one with the flavour text. Tlaloc (Tlaloc) was a very important Aztec God, hence its exotic status-the supreme God of the rain and storms. The Flavour text says: "Release the STORM. Hold nothing back." So, now I've done all of the year 2 Omolon weapons. Does it stop there? No! The year 1 bikes follow the same pattern, but there are no special Flavour texts here. Helios (Helios SR4) was the Greek personification of the Sun. The Yamaduta (Bronzed Yamaduta SR4/Primed Yamaduta S4) are Hindu messengers of death, basically Grim Reapers again. Eos (Silvered Eos SR4) is the Greek personification of the dawn. Sorg (Painted Sorg SR5) sadly, draws up a blank. However, it could be an abbreviation is Sorginak, assistants to the goddess Mari or witches in Basque mythology. Abaddon (Painted Abaddon SR5) is either a Hebrew Bible bottomless pit, or the name of an angel from the Bible who controls a swarm of locusts. Kin (Silvered Kin SR5) also shows nothing but is probably short for Ah Kin, a Mayan Sun-God.[/spoiler] Sorry but we ran out of room [spoiler]Want to create your own clever weapon names?
