| This unidentified '''master gunnery sergeant''' was a [[non-commissioned officer]] in charge of ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]''<nowiki />'s [[armory]]. On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], he helped [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] get used to his new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI MJOLNIR armor]].<ref name="arm">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[The Armory]]''</ref>

|
| | The unnamed '''Master Gunnery Sergeant''' in charge of [[Cairo Station|Cairo Station's]] armory was a [[NCO|non-commissioned officer]]. He helped the [[Master Chief]] get used to his new [[Mark VI armor]] by testing his shields.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', [[The Armory (Level)|The Armory]]</ref> |
| ==Biography== | | ==Biography== |
| Some time after John-117 arrived at ''Cairo Station'', the NCO fitted the Spartan with the Mark VI armor that [[Maria-062]] had tested earlier in the day at [[Special Warfare Center|SWC Songnam]].<ref>'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[Armor Testing]]''</ref> The MGySgt was initially annoyed with how much damage the Master Chief's old [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V armor]] had taken, but then admitted that the Mark V technology was obsolete. He then tested the new armor's optics and [[energy shielding]]. Sergeant Major [[Avery Johnson]] soon arrived at the armory to lead John-117 to the ceremony held in the orbital platform's [[bridge]]. When the MGySgt asked how Johnson had survived the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the sergeant major replied that such information was classified. Angered, "Master Guns" replied that he would not make the adjustments to Johnson's [[A2 scope]] that he was apparently set to perform.{{Ref/Reuse|arm}}
| | Shortly after the [[Master Chief]] arrived at the [[Cairo Station]], the [[Master Gunnery Sergeant (rank)|Master Gunnery Sergeant]] fitted him with the [[Mark VI armor]] that [[Maria-062]] had tested earlier. The Master Gunnery Sergeant also briefed the Master Chief on the shields of the new armor. Later, he was killed when [[Covenant]] forces [[First Battle of Earth|invaded]] the station. Two [[Elite]]s entered his armory and fired upon him, and he returned fire with a [[Shotgun#M90 Mk II|shotgun]]. He was soon annihilated by the pair of Elites as the Master Chief entered his armory to assist him. His dying words were "'Get The Hell Outta My Armory split lip.'" |
|
| |
|
| Later that day, [[Covenant]] forces boarded the station during their [[Battle for Earth|invasion of Earth]]. The MGySgt held his armory valiantly before being killed by a team of [[Sangheili]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref>
| | ==Confusion Over Rank== |
| | There has been a great deal of confusion regarding this character's name and rank. In the level [[The Armory (Level)|The Armory]], he is referred to as "Master Guns" by [[Sergeant Major Johnson]]. Many interpreted this as him being a [[Master Sergeant]] with the last name "Guns". However, "Master Guns" is an informal address for a [[Master Gunnery Sergeant (rank)|Master Gunnery Sergeant]], and the character's name is not known. In articles he is often referred to as the unnamed Master Gunnery Sergeant, the Armory's Master Gunnery Sergeant, or "Master Guns" (only if a direct quote from the game). This also might just be a way of Johnson to say "master of the armory." |

| *"Master Guns'" last words vary depending on the level of difficulty:
| | *If the player waits underneath the Armory away from the stairs before entering it the Gunnery Sergeant is invincible. He will hold off the two [[Covenant]] [[Elites]] but he cannot kill them and will die as soon as the player enters the Armory. On Legendary, one can wait as he takes down the Elite's shield before going up and engaging them. |
| **Easy/Normal: "Get the hell out of my armory, split-lip!"
| | *He was the last human to see [[Spartan 117]]'s face as of yet. At the beginning of Halo 2, we see the Chief put on his helmet, indicating that his face is visible. Never once during the course of the game does he take off his helmet. The case is the same as in Halo 3, which takes place almost directly after the events of the prior game; he never takes off his helmet. |
| **Heroic: "Call your friends! I got enough ammo for all of ya!"
| | *On the rare occasion, ''Halo 2'' will glitch, and if you move fast enough, and kill the elites you can save the Master Gunnery Sergeant. Unfortunately, he does not move. |
| **Legendary: "Come on, is that a weapon or a flashlight? Oh, dang it!"
| |
| *If the player waits underneath the armory away from the stairs before entering it, the Gunnery Sergeant is invincible. He will hold off the two Elites, but he cannot kill them and will die as soon as the player enters the Armory. On Legendary, one can wait as he takes down the Elites' shield before going up and engaging them. | |
| *On rare occasion if the player moves fast enough, they can kill the two Elites and save Master Guns. This accomplishes little, though, as he does not move. | |
| *During the finishing segment of the tutorial where Johnson gets on the elevator and rebuffs the gunnery sergeant's attempts to ask how Johnson survived the [[Battle of Installation 04]], it is actually possible to hear what he says to Johnson in full (as, in-game, the elevator closes up and ascends, cutting off the last part of his dialogue). In the game, all you can hear is "my ass! Well you can forget about those adjustments to your A2 scope, and-" before he's cut off. Using a clipping mod on [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista]], you can clip through the elevator door just as Johnson rebuffs him, allowing you to hear what the gunnery sergeant says fully. He says, in full, "My ass! Well you can forget about those adjustments to your A2 scope, and '''you're sure as hell not gettin' one of the new M7s!'''", which can be heard [[Media:L01 3370 gun.ogg|here]]. To see the ''Halo 2 Vista'' method in full, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB9xfTTGie4 click here].
| |
| **The '''M7''' the gunnery sergeant refers to is clearly the [[M7 Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]], which can be used in-game.
| |
| **When using the clipping tool, the player must move as far away from the elevator as possible (leaving the armoury altogether is the preferred method), as the dialogue quality improves the further away you get.
