The MA40 holds 36 rounds ready, with 216 rounds in reserve. The base version of the MA40 assault rifle has lowered damage per round and its bloom gradually increases as the trigger is held. The reticle is very similar to the [[MA5D]]'s reticle in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The MA40 is highly effective in close-quarters combat. The weapon, when compared to other recent incarnations of the assault rifle, fires at a significantly faster rate, akin to the [[MA5B assault rifle]].{{Ref/Reuse|hinfgameplay}} | The MA40 holds 36 rounds ready, with 216 rounds in reserve.
