Since players in ''Halo'' multiplayer normally spawn with shields, the assault rifle's effectiveness is limited. It is often used only because more specialized weapons are unavailable. However, when combined with the [[plasma pistol]] (which can destroy shields quickly), the assault rifle can be a powerful short and medium range option. It takes about 15 accurate rounds to kill a spartan normally.

==Appearences==
The Assault Rifle was introduced as a weapon in [[Halo]]. Unfortunately Bungie did not like how the rifle behaved, they compared it to an SMG. So it did not make it into [[Halo 2]] and was "replaced" with the [[Battle Rifle]]. This weapon will return in [[Halo 3]]. Though it looks like the original, Bungie stated it is not.
