The Vostu-pattern carbine is the primary service arm of the Covenant, in particular used by the Elites. In the UNSC it is known by the designation Type-51 Carbine.

Notes

  1. ^ Due to how tickrate is rounded down, the rate of fire is 6 rounds per second rather than ~7.1.
  2. ^ Due to Halo 2 Vista's increased tickrate, rate of fire is not rounded down and ~6.66 rounds per second can be achieved. This oversight was patched in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
