| A '''telescopic sight''', commonly called a '''scope''', is a [[weapon attachment|device attached to a weapon]] used to give additional accuracy using a point of aim for weapons such as firearms, airguns and crossbows. Other sighting systems are [[iron sight]]s and [[Laser aiming module|laser sights]].

| | The '''Telescopic Sight''', commonly called a '''Scope''', is a [[weapon attachment|device attached to a weapon]] used to give additional accuracy using a point of aim for weapons such as firearms, airguns and crossbows. Other sighting systems are [[iron sights]] and [[red dot sights]]. |

| The [[UNSC]] uses a scope on a wide variety of its [[Human weaponry|weapon]]s, ranging from its [[sniper rifle]] variants, to its [[battle rifles]], and even its [[handguns]], though the handguns employ a "[[smart-linking|smart-linked]]" [[KFA-2 x2|camera]]. All of these scopes and cameras can transmit their feeds to UNSC soldiers' [[heads-up display]]s via smart-linking. The [[Covenant]] also use scopes (e.g.; the [[Covenant Carbine]] and [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]]), though the mechanics of their equipment are unknown. | | The [[UNSC]] uses a scope on a wide variety of its [[weapon]]s, ranging from its [[Sniper Rifle]] variants, to its [[Battle Rifles]], and even its [[handguns]], but the handguns employ a [[KFA-2 x2|camera]]. All of these scopes and camera are transmitted to and viewable for UNSC personnel as a part of their [[HUD]], thanks to the weapons' [[neural interface]]s.

| There are a wide variety of scopes, each differing in type, function, and purpose. For example; the standard scope of an [[S2 AM Sniper Rifle]] is capable of 5×/10×, 2×/8× or 2×/10× magnification for long range combat, and are electronically operated. The S2 AM Scope also includes a night vision function in some models for night combat. The scopes on the [[BR55 Battle Rifle|BR55]] and [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|BR55HB SR]], however, are only capable of 2× magnification, intended only for short to medium-range accuracy, using focusing lenses for magnification. The [[M41 Rocket Launcher]] and the [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]] both have 2× scopes, as well, to better pinpoint targets and to extend their effective range. | | There are a wide variety of scopes, each differing in type, function, and purpose.
