im more of an AR guy so i dont know much ab AK's (im military family)

> isnt 7.62x51 what AK's shoot? or is that 7.62x39?
@mongo Aks use the 7.62x39mm vround which is an intermediate cartridge

ahhhh

as for the Halo rifle thing, my point still stands that its impressive that they were able to design and build a rifle capable of firing what is essentially a Mosin round with minimal recoil, although granted it is 500 years into the future

yeah

but the spartans are also spartans so i'd say recoil is irrelevant to them

yup

one thing im confused about is why they dont have some kind of pistol carbine for the Magnum yet

I wonder if Spartans have a different variant of the rifle while the marines use something else

it certainly wouldnt be hard

> I wonder if Spartans have a different variant of the rifle while the marines use something else
@Phoenix 3-1 nope, its the same

ah

I out of date on my halo lore

i mean spartans are what, 8 feet tall or something, they need bigger equipment so they probably do

judging by the scale of the spartans to normal humans though, i assume those Assault Rifles are a little bit smaller then a modern day M249 SAW

which is saying something

or maybe the buffer spring in the stocks is just a masterpiece

Spartans are a genetically engineered type of human from the Halo universe. Depending on the type of Spartan the height of a Spartan (fully armoured)is 7 feet tall(spartan 3)8 feet tall (spartan 2) and 6 to 7 feet tall (spartan 4), and have a reinforced endoskeleton.

wiki

plus the rifles have been described as sturdy, serving as a club as well as a rifle, so i assume their hefty as well

yeah i havent caught up on my halo lore in forever

I love Halo's fairly realistic take on firearms and the associated technology

yeah

its cool

alright well had fun chatting, i have school in the morning, gotta go to bed

maybe it is just a bigger boolet

as shown here

> maybe it is just a bigger boolet
@Phoenix 3-1 not wider, just longer

perhaps

still, i think the magnum should have a carbine variant for tank and aircraft crewmen

it wouldnt even be that hard

a Stock, actual sights, possibly an extended magazine, extended barrel, and automatic or at least burst conversion and boom you have a .50 cal pistol carbine

makes sense

The halo 1 pistol with a Stock attached would be cool, an selectfire wouldn't really work...a really good single action or even binary tigger would be sweet

I remember in I think ghosts of onyx....the spartan 3 were using a K variant of the assault rifle

its not that the magnum cant do an auto conversion, there is a version capable of firing in bursts

That's in halo 5s warzone right

yup

and i know halo 5 sucks as a game story wise, but it goes bring up some interesting weapon concepts

Yes some interesting variants..like the nade attachment for the magnum

I'm just say that mechanically it makes little sense for .50 pistol to have a burst mode...right now I'm remembering the time I bump fired a .50 Beowulf AR ... Oof
