Since you all will be required to use non-specialist equipment in these difficult
circumstances, we are issuing you a refresher on the current available UNSC
arsenal. If you have not used any of these weapons in the field or in practice,
you would do well to familiarize yourself with them before entering a combat
zone. Some of these weapons you can dual-wield. enabling you to fire them
simultaneously. To dual-wield, press and hold
Y
to pick up the secondary
weapon. Use the Left and Right triggers to fire.
S2 AM Sniper Rifle
Gas-operated, magazine-fed weapon utilizes
a smart-linked scope with two levels of
magnification (5X and 10X). Firing 14.5mm
armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding-sabot
rounds makes it very powerful. Sheer size
and limited magazine capacity dictate strategic
use. Devastating from a secured position,
has clearly limited use as close-range
weapon.
M6C Pistol (dual wield)
Standard UNSC sidearm. Recoil-operated
magazine-fed handgun, firing a magazine of
six 12.7mm semi-armor piercing rounds. Fired
accurately in semi-automatic mode, can be
powerful anti-personnel weapon. This stripped-
down “C” variant does not feature a scope.
BR55 Rifle
Battle Rifle fires 9.5mm rounds from 36-round
magazine. Mounted with a 2X optical scope
for targeting. Fires in short, automatic bursts
of three rounds. Very accurate, relatively high
rate of fire makes it a useful all-around infantry
weapon.
M7/Caseless Sub Machine Gun
(SMG) (dual wield)
“Bullet hose” fires sustained burst of 5mm fire
from 60-round magazine. SMGs, while not
accurate over long distances, can provide
withering fire at close quarters. Tends to “walk”
upwards as compounding momentum from
recoil takes hold. Therefore, careful moderation
of aim required to maintain accuracy.
M19 SSM Rocket Launcher
Most commonly used light anti-vehicle weapon
in UNSC arsenal. Man-portable, shoulder-fired,
with single 2X level of magnification. Fires
102mm shaped-charge, high explosive tracking
rockets. Reticle indicator denotes when launcher
has achieved lock on target.
M90 Shotgun
Powerful, loud, pump-action, magazine-fed,
firing 8-gauge magnum (3.5”) rounds with
strong recoil. Devastating at close range and in
confined quarters, should be used with caution.
Ineffective damage ratios at long range mean it
should be used appropriately.
