Vidya gunz: HALO

Halo had some real nice firearm concepts. What I like the most about Halo's guns is how they're (almost) functionally logic and believable.

For example, the BR55 is known for:
>extremely fast four round bursts
>being a bullpup design
>chambered in some odd 9.5x40mm SAPHE round that equals the 308 Win in ballistics
>2x scope

If you wanted to make a pretty good replica that would basically fill the same roles and approx. caracteristics, you could:
>base the rifle on the FAMAS platform
>the FAMAS G2 is known for having a lever delayed blowback operating mechanism that allows it to have 3-round burst that's so fast that it sounds like one cartridge being discharged, which is what we want for a BR55 replica.
>chamber it in either 308 if ya want, or a smaller round that could still fill the role like 6.5x47
>buff the rifle, make it swole, that would maybe allow it to fit a chunkier magazine without looking too out of place

Any other ideas like that for the other guns Jow Forums?

>4 round burst
It was 3 round burst. It also *exceeds* .308 ballistics, because it fairs better than the MA5 and M392-DMR (both chambered in 7.62x51 NATO).
>FAMAS platform
Nah, use something like the Keltec RFB or the Desert Tech MDR.
>Buff the rifle, make it swole
No thanks
>Allow it to fit a clunkier magazine
Bullpups are already on the heavier side and clunky enough as is - why would you want to double down on that trait?
Let's figure out a good 7.62x51 Bullpup FIRST before we try something far-fetched. Making a proprietary round like a 9.5x40 when we don't have the market for it already will stunt the replica's sales and abort it before it's born.

What you said is true. The problem is: the UNSC used special powders n' shit to make a smaller round exceed the 308 in ballistic performance, and actually, it ain't possible. That's why I didn't proposed to make a 9.5x40 round.
>Base it on the Keltec RFB or Desert Tech MDR.
Those two don't have the 1100 rounds per minute rate of fire of the FAMAS. It even looks like the FAMAS if you squint. It's just probably chunkier than the FAMAS. And remember it's first prototype were chambered in 7.62x51, so it could be possible.

The MA5B is a mad lad. 60 rounds of 7.62x51 NATO coming out at 900 RPM. And that was the standard issue rifle. And also, it was only inaccurate in Halo 1 because it could kill a spartan in 15 shots so they decided to make it spray like a musket instead to balance it and if it were accurate then it would have balanced out the magnum. So it is wrong for people to take it's face value as lore when the fandom and rest of the lore does not take everything else at face value from the games.

dont use the Ma5b in h1 on auto, pull the trigger in rapid half second bursts and you'll hit shit across maps

UNSC infantry weapons and equipment are worse then real life variants by a lot.

Going by the Old Bungie website which had the Stats of said weapons the Standard issue MA5B had Max effective range of less then 100 meters and thats with a 7.62x51 flying out of a 30+ Inch barrel.

You have tank that have Exposed crew compartments and that makes it really easy to shoot the driver.

At-least they released a Book updating their Ships, The Pillar of Autumn originally had a Displacement of like 13,000 Metric tons.... 5 times the size of a WW2 battleship at 1/5th the weight.

Oddly enough, I learned how to do that from watching the flood.

Pretty much. It bothers me when an advanced military doesn't take advantage of rather simple shit like remote weapons or caseless ammunition as the standard issue.

to be fair, a lot of the old stuff was retconned by newer lore, so i doubt thats cannon anymore.
