Ranger24: Sorry about another long wait but I've been real busy.
Medium weapons: Your work horses.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"Hello folks," Seamus said.
"It's us again," Rolo'mono continued.
"Hey when did we jump from script to regular format?" Seamus asked.
"Why you want it changed back?" Rolo'mono asked.
"No just sayin," Seamus grumbled.
"Well Ranger's under going therapy to prevent an addiction to World of Warcraft."
Quick flash over to Ranger who was strapped down to a table being administered shock therapy!
"I told you crazy assholes! I'm playing it till Christmas so I can get Assassin's Creed 2!" Ranger yelled before being shocked again.
"Anyways," Seamus muttered. "Today we're here about some of the decent guns you all love from Halo. In this case Assault rifles, the shot gun, the Battle rifle, and the ODST SMG."
"Hey wait we did the SMG already and it was classified as a light weapon," Rolo'mono pointed out.
"Yeah well the stapler took a level in badass for ODST," Seamus growled.
"Ah a fellow tropper I see," Rolo'mono observed.
"Just do your damn speal so I can watch Halo Legends on the internet," Seamus snapped.
"What got shoved up your metal ass?" Rolo'mono muttered. "Okay folks we're starting simple with one of the most Iconic Halo Weapons. The MA5 assault rifle series!"
"And here are the offical facts now," Seamus muttered pulling out a computer.
The MA5 Assault rifle series is the primary combat weapon used by UNSC forces. Its most seen incarnation being the MA5B assault Rifle. This weapon had a 60 round magazine of 7.62 mm rounds and a handy built in compass. Other incarnations included the MA5K carbine used primarily by speacil forces particularly the SIII's.
"Ah I remember the MA5B, I just loved caving in grunts heads with it." Seamus said happily.
Behind him Fapad dropped his tray of cookies and backed away slowly.
"Wonder why they didn't have it Halo 2?" Rolo'mono muttered.
"Maybe they thought the Battle rifle and SMG would compensate," Seamus replied with a shrug.
Late in the war the MA5B was being phased out by the lighter but just as powerful MA5C assault rifle which has a 32 round magazine. Offical Bungie Sources say the Assault rifle was reincarnated as such to be a better starting multiplayer weapon than the SMG.
"Hail to Bungie," Seamus said pulling out a beer and taking a swig.
"Yeah, wonder why it was in ODST though if the battle rifle wasn't and the battle rifle was in Halo 2 and the assault rifle wasn't?" Rolo'mono wondered.
"Ask Ranger when he's out of Rehab," Seamus replied.
Meanwhile at a rehab center Ranger is lying on a couch with a stereotypical doctor.
"Look Doc I don't have a Warcraft addiction! Sure I played the RTS and have grinded to level 76 but I still have a stable home life and romantic relationship!" Ranger snapped.
"Aggression first sign of gaming addiction," The doctor replied.
"What?! Gaming addiction is just a form of escapism to deal with other physco problems!" Ranger snarled.
"Hey who's the doctor here?" The doctor asked turning on the shock machine causing Ranger to writh in pain.
"Oh fuck you!" Ranger shreiked.
Back with the morons.
"Eh he's probably fine," Seamus muttered.
"Any ways moving on to the shot gun," Rolo'mono said.
The M90 is the standard military shot gun of the UNSC Marine corps. It is also used by civilain police forces. The M90's round capacity has varied from game to game however its close range effficency makes it an up close power weapon.
"And appreantly Brutes like them so much they made their own," Seamus added.
"Hence the Brutes utter crap copy the mauler," Rolo'mono finished.
"Next up!" Seamus called.
The BR55 Battle rifle is one of the newer weapons in the UNSC arsenal. The first four protypes were combat tested on Harvest by Sargent Avery Jones Johnson and a collection of Colonial Milita fighters. The Battle rifle however apperantly still had some bugs in it that were worked out as the war went along but only went into mass production late in the war. The battle rifle has a thirty six round magazine, a handy times two scope, and fires an accuret three round burst.
"Ah yes the gun that MLG player mastrubate over." Seamus said carelessly.
"Whoa! I don't think we can get away with such foul language!" Rolo'mono warned.
"We can if no one reports it," Seamus pointed out.
"True," Rolo'mono muttered.
The battle rifle works best in combination with weapons meant for trashing sheilds. Knock an enemies sheilds out and the drill him in the face with a Battle Rifle. This is called the noob combo.
"Oh gee no shit," Seamus growled.
"Last but not least the improved SMG from Halo 3 ODST." Rolo'mono said.
The M7S is the advanced speacil operations modification of the M7 Caseless SMG. The weapon is significantly more effective with a higher round calibur, a silencer, and a laser scope. The weapon has a shallower magazine however but makes up for it by simply being actually usefull.
"And sounding less like an automatic stapler and more like a real sub machine gun." Seamus muttered.
"So that's all the medium weapons." Rolo'mono finished.
"Next time we'll knock of the big encalades, the Power weapons!" Seamus said.
"So you can do the impossible!" Rolo'mono added.
"See the invisible," Seamus continued.
"Row Row! Fight the power!" Fapad proclaimed.
The other two were silent for a moment staring at the grunt.
"Me killed it?" Fapad said sadly.
"Yeah, you did." Seamus growled.
