Unrealistic Ballistics
(Scared of Realism) Okay. The manual for Halo clearly states that the MA5B fires a 7.62mm bullet. That's a .30 caliber gun. If you, for example, shot a Grunt with this rifle, it would immediately die of the wound. The .30 is about as big-ass a bullet as you can have without having recoil dampeners. So forget hosing down an area with minimal to medium effect. If you sprayed a squad of Covies with this rifle you would end up with chunks and a broken arm for yourself.

Don't forget:
1. Master Chief is in a suit of armor that has much much more strength than a human.
2. There are shield technologies at work here; we are > 500 years in the future.
