A Complete List of all UNSC Service Rifles

---

The Lewis Hindenburg 54th Model 5 Special Forces Combat Weapon, created in 2145, it entered UNSC service in 2160 - 2217. This was the creators last weapon before his death making him one of the worlds oldest men before his death, the first successful rifle had him add the final paint job before the week he passed away bedside. The weapon was highly regarded as his second AR master piece right behind his LH30M2.

---

The M82 Assault Rifle and MA3 AR was used buy the Marines/Army primarily during the Harmony Insurrection, The Soviet Expansion War and the Helghast Wars. Both caused some minor arguments between both branches as the MA3 AR lasted a year after the M82.

---

In order of appearance.
- MA37 ICWS
- MA5B ICWS
- MA5C ICWS
- MA6A/MA6U ICWS
- MA38 ICWS

weapons one to two were common in the Insurrection era and both participated in the Human-Covenant War, the third weapon was around the end of the war and stayed in service before the fourth. The fourth rifle was in service during the Second Contact war and was updated a few years afterwards. The last one came into service near the end of the Galactic War and is still in service, a newer weapon named the MA50A ICWS is being developed.

I decided to bump this, also new rifle is coming out for public few soon.

While the XCR is a good rifle (or so I've been told) and the M14 makes an excellent battle rifle, your carbine and SMG choices don't make a great deal of sense. There are plenty of modern .45 SMGs with a variety of actions or ergonomic quirks that would make them substantially better than two weapons of WWII vintage and prior. The UMP .45 and Kriss Super V (Vector) being two well-publicised options.
I don't feel the AC-556 would make for a very good carbine. You'd probably be better off with a military rifle designed for the role, not a civilian shooter arm. Since you already use the XCR, why not the XCR Mini? I wouldn't recommend the Micro, its barrel would be too short for any suitable ranges. Some handguns have barrels nearly as long as the Micro.

I've heard less than praising reviews of the XCR, mostly to do with the varied quality rifle-to-rifle.

I looked into it. It seems all nice and fine, that is, if you have the money to buy the rifle and pay for absolute top-of-the-line ammo. Without that stuff, the rifle's unreliable according to a few reviews I just read.
Goddamit, how the hell is there not a reliable, accurate, and cheap firearm on the market that I can actually go hunting with?

American manufactured AKM clone?
I imagine that combines the three to at least a decent degree.

I said cheap. Quality American AK clones are rarely cheap. Take a look at the SGL. It's over $1,000, IIRC.

AC-556 is a military rifle designed for the role.

Insofar that a "military rifle" is what would normally be called a "select fire" rifle.

I mean, the USMC and US Army use commercial Remington 700s for sniping.

Are these by any chance for sale?

SGL 21-61 (base 7.62 platform) is right at $805.00 on Atlantic Firearms. The only reason mine was ~$1,300.00 is because I got the limited edition with the AK-100 series stock (SGL 21-94). Speaking of which, all but one of the parts (light) came in today and I installed them. This sling is very nice (though a bit of a bitch to install), the Ultimak rail is super snug (again, bitch to install until I figured out what I was doing), and the Vortex quick-release light mount is great (and also a bitch to install). Long story short -- the parts are epic and I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to customizing weapons.

I know how it needs to be done now in the future. I also installed a flat muzzle nut on the WASR to improve its accuracy. Once that Surefire 6PX Pro comes in, I'll probably be vomiting rainbows from my urethra.



EDIT FOR HUNTING STUFF: Arsenal rifles typically come with a five-round magazine, so you can hunt with them. I hunted with my WASR last year and got a doe while it was running at around 100m using a 4x scope. This next season I plan on using my Arsenal SGL 21-94. Still not sure if I'll use irons or a scope: I tested my accuracy with irons the other day and every shot hit exactly where I wanted it to, so I might use irons. AKs are perfectly acceptable hunting rifles at 200m or less. Also, Arsenal Inc. rifles are Russian-made and converted-to-pistol-grip in the US: they aren't clones necessarily (to an extent, yes, but they are made in Russia). Arsenal Co. is the company that makes their AKs off of Bulgarian kits.

If I remember correctly: "SGL" prefix means "Arsenal Inc" and "SLR" prefix means "Arsenal Co." Either way, a 7.62 AK variant should work fine for 200m or less. Anything beyond that and you'll want a more accurate platform: Remington 700s in .308 aren't too horribly expensive and they tend to have decent accuracy. Savage rifles are also fairly accurate.

The AC-556 is a Mini-14 with full-auto capabilities. The Mini-14 was designed as a varmint rifle.

I know 7.62 would be fine. It's just that the majority of civilian rifles available in my area that are cheap, reliable, and customizable aren't very good for hunting due to the fact that they're often chambered in .223.

Unless you're gunning for small critters like wabbits (*cough*ElmerFudd*cough*), 5.56 isn't really a good hunting round, right?

The only things I've purchased locally are my girlfriend's M44, and two of my pistols. Everything else has been from the internet. I support supporting of local gun stores, but if they simply don't have what I need, I'll go to the interwebs and have it transferred to them. At least they get some money out of the transfer fees. Eventually, I'll probably buy something from their store again. I've recently had a bit of an interest in revolvers and the owner of the store is the local 4-H leader and they've started doing Cowboy Action Shooting, so they have tons of lever actions and single-action revolvers.


FAKE EDIT TO ADD: I would not take .223 beyond whitetail deer, and even then, .223 on a whitetail relies on good shot placement.

Pretty much.

[Spreewerke]

Expanding .223 ammunition is perfectly fine on game up to white-tailed deer: you need to make absolutely certain you hit the vitals with it, however. .223 is also a common coyote round. Prairie dogs, varmints, and, again, coyotes are capable of being killed somewhat easily by the .223 round. Squirrels and rabbits really shouldn't be taken by anything larger than .22 Magnum assuming you're shooting for meat. If not, I've known people that have shot squirrels with .30-06s for "shits 'n' gigs."

Looks like it is another part of a series of rifles. Because we all know the Rifle from Halo reach was in halo 3, and we all know there was never a concept of a series of weapons right guys?

A kid on my bus once said that his uncle shot at Gophers with a RPG. I assuming he did not, because I believe it's hard to get a RPG here in Montana much less shoot at some gophers with one.

You asked for opinions, I gave you mine. Which was that it looked like you ripped off the Halo rifle and added the N7 Mass Effect logo to the rifle.

[Spreewerke]

I've shot a small snapping turtle with a 1911 using .45ACP Remington Hyrdra-Shocks. It was small enough that the energy transfer lifted it a couple inches off the ground and threw it about a foot away from me every time I fired (twice).

In my defense, the thing looked pretty messed up and had parasites all over it.

Its hard to rip things off from a source material in your nation.

I wonder what UEG means?

I also like how your opinion was constructive.
