VK78 Commando

The VK78 Commando is a weapon of human manufacture, likely in service with the United Nations Space Command.

Overview
The VK78 fires 6.5mm rounds on automatic, and is fitted with an optic that can magnify up to at least x3. It is distinctive among human rifles in that it does not share the common bullpup configuration of systems like the MA series assault rifles such as the MA40 or battle rifles such as the BR55 Battle Rifle, in which the magazine is inserted behind the trigger. Instead, the magazine is inserted at an angle in front of the trigger.

Halo Infinite
Just prior to being picked up in the gameplay demo, a line of text under the pickup prompt indicated that the VK78 is a "Tactical Rifle", with "Kinetic" and "Auto" properties. This indicates that its rate of fire, while cyclically slow, is technically automatic in the same manner as the M6D in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 5: Guardians.
