The '''MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System''' ('''ICWS''') is an [[Wikipedia:Assault rifle|assault rifle]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Like the rest of the [[MA5 series]], the MA5D is designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]].<ref name="GI 522012">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/05/02/the-arsenal-of-halo-4.aspx '''Game Informer:''' ''The Arsenal of Halo 4'']</ref>

== Overview ==
==Overview==
The MA5D assault rifle is an air-cooled, [[Wikipedia:Gas-operated reloading|gas-operated]], magazine-fed, fully automatic bullpup rifle that fires standard [[7.62x51mm|7.62×51mm FMJ-AP ammunition]] from a 32- or 36-round detachable box magazine.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} It possesses a built-in ammunition indicator and magnetic compass for orientation similar to that of all other MA5 series rifles. The 2525 model bears few noticeable design differences from the [[MA5C assault rifle|MA5C]] apart from an integrated muzzle brake, and the overall bulkiness of the newer rifle.

It bears few noticeable design differences from the [[MA5C assault rifle|MA5C]] apart from an integrated muzzle brake.
 
The MA5D ICWS was in limited service use as early as [[2525]] when it was issued to officer cadets, drill instructors, and security personnel at the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]], as well as [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Blue Team]].<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'''</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/343Sparkast_014.mp3 '''343 Sparkast 014''']</ref><ref name="TFOR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'''</ref> It saw continued use throughout the war, though the MA5's [[MA5B assault rifle|B]] and C variants remained more common.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Prologue]]''</ref><ref>''Halo: Initiation'', Issue 1</ref><ref>''Halo: Escalation'', Issue 7</ref> By [[2557]] the MA5D had become standard issue.

MA5D assault rifles issued to [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]] are given the same protective metamaterial coating used on the [[M6H Magnum#M6H2|M6H2 Magnum]].<ref name="HOSFM">'''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]''', ''page 188''</ref>
 
== Variants ==
[[File:H5G MA5DAssaultRifle Rail Render.jpg|thumb|left|Renders of the ''Halo 5: Guardians'' MA5D, showing the removable shroud and rail.]]
=== Removable shroud variant ===
By October [[2558]], a newer variant of the MA5D existed with the "p/n 00118-B" body and the [[Weapon Serial Numbers|serial number]] of "007230814". This variant had a removable cover worked into the cowling, concealing a "P/N 16309" rail for the attachment of compatible systems, primarily optics. When no optic is present, an integral [[Projection sight]] with an emitter embedded directly above the rifle's display screen on the cowling is often leveraged for targeting.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
* '''COG MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[COG sight]]. Security configuration issued to ONI's armed-response teams.
* '''Hybrid MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Hybrid sight]]. This variant is a testbed for human-Sangheili technology sharing, fitted with a modified [[Mosa-pattern carbine|Carbine]] holoscope.
* '''Longshot MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Longshot sight]]. UNSC Marine Corps Interim Fireteam Support (IFS) configuration for intermediate-range combat and long-range suppression.
* '''Morph MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Morph sight]]. Test configuration issued to Spartans assigned to ''Infinity''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> science field teams, fitted with a modified [[Z-250 lightrifle|LightRifle]] holoscope.
* '''Recon MA5D''': Assault Rifle with [[Recon sight]]. UNSC Army configuration with quick-acquisition sights for mid-range engagements.
 
==== MA5D attachments ====
* '''[[Energy bayonet]]''': Increases melee damage and range, allowing for a one-hit kill against normal opponents.
* '''Extended magazine''': Increases both ready and reserve ammunition capacity by 50% for a total of 54 rounds per magazine and 324 reserve rounds.
* '''[[Kinetic bolts]]''': Augments knockback and damage against vehicles.
* '''[[Knight blade]]''': Increases melee effectiveness, with extra damage and knockback against vehicles.
* '''[[Laser targeter]]''': Increases weapon accuracy by reducing bullet spread.
* '''[[Long barrel]]''': Increases range of bullet magnetism and aim assist.
* '''[[Stabilization jets]]''': Helps control vertical recoil.
* '''[[Silencer]]''': Firing the weapon does not make the user show up on enemy radar. However, walking still gives away the user's position.
* '''[[Sound dampener]]''': Increases effective range and reduces firing signature.
* '''[[Threat marker]]''': Tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time.
