Dark Light
What If…Grunts had lightsabers?
Halo Grunts with lightsabers

Just visualizing this in game play is funny enough and the entire reason why this got posted. The bumbling Grunts would probably spend more time accidentally slicing off other Grunt appendages while trying to attack. I’d prolly spend more time watching that occur than anything else.
Would they pose any real threat?
Could they become the new “Elites?”
What other outcomes would reveal themselves?

    they would finally kill me with something other than a synchronized grenade toss when I have the catch skull on.

    It’s recommended that only Force-Sensitives or those that demonstrate incredible skill and confidence along with a masterful dexterity of bladed weapons should ever use a lightsaber.

    A Grunt possesses none of these attributes. Stocky, clumsy, lethargic and prone to acts of cowardice, the average Grunt is more likely to decapitate himself than harm an opponent.

    Hilarious self-dismemberment would quickly ensue.

    They’d be less adept with lightsabers than they are with plasmas, and they can barely handle those without blowing themselves to kingdom come.

    The grunts would be dead before you get to them.

    This is counter-productive given that the sabers do not have a “point this end towards the enemy before activating” label.

    I’m assuming if they have lightsabers they are jedi or seith. Either way that would be funny and awesome. Let me get george lucas on the line!

    Jiralhanae Chieftain: What the hell is this? A box full of metal sticks? Give it to the Ungoy.

    Ungoy: What’s this? *tseerr* HOLY **** (cue dead brutes, grunts, humans, flood, elites, hunters, etc.)

    Lol, Jedi Grunts……..May the Methane Be With You…… =)

    *sniffs* I don’t smell anything other than chicken. Ohh….wait. Grunts are not only chickens in combat but….they smell like chicken when cooked? Someone eat Grunt meat. Does it taste like chicken?

    It wouldn’t be like giving a baby a grenade, it would be like giving a baby who has unlimted grenades a lightsaber

    It would be like putting a plastic bag over a baby’s head with its hands tied behind its back while also being locked in a box filled with several poisonous snakes (cobra, rattle snake, cottonmouth) who have grenades strapped to their bodies…oh and all of this is happening while the box is being thrown from an airplane over a volcano

    These would smell like hot farts.

    True story.

    Methane reference. Love it.

    I can’t imagine the Grunts would emit a pleasant odor due to the fact that they seem to be composed of a hemocyanin based protein; imagine the smell of burnt kidney and shellfish combined.

    No wonder they are frequently segregated.

    After seeing countless grunts dead seemingly from their own hands, the Prophets will wonder if this is some new technique of the UNSC to sabatoge them within, with little flashlights of death…..

    haha bunch of new names though those names are proply already taken by the other grunts, but this would be funny to see, you should also do if they had the force, you know just so theycan knock them selfs out with boxes or try to chuck a plasma granade and then being shocked when it levitating right infront of them yep if only

    This thought makes me laugh for some reason..Theres obviously a reason why the Elites didnt hand them the energy sword. To the chief its a flashy new weapon

    What If Grunts had lightsabers? 5 seconds later they won’t and Master Chief will have a Light Saber.

    we all know what happens when grunts figure out how to use nades, so if they ever figured out how to use the ‘sabers…

    it’s like a cow being blended in a giant blender with light sabers for the rotary blade.
    man this is so embarrassing i just laughed out loud in front of my mum. lol ={D

    they kill them selfs and drop in on the floor….to be stepped on by more grunts it will be a hilarious blood bath

    Ok heres what I see happening: The grunts try to fight with their enemy with their new lightsabers, but end up keep cutting off each other’s arms and start pissing each other off and they just start fighting with each other, while the enemy just sits down, pulls out some popcorn and starts watching the show.

    i agree with ryushi

    and i also don’t really think that the grunt’s fully figured out how to use grenades, let alone lightsabers. that being said, the few who survived turning them on would kill each other with flailing arms

    I’ve alway wondered why lightsabers are so dangerous to hold. As long a you point the end away from you youy should be safe. People tend to use swords without hitting themselves.
