MA2B assault rifle

The MA2B Assault Rifle is a cut-down version of the United Nations Space Command's standard MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System. It sees sparse service among UNSC Special Forces units.

Background
Like its relatives in the MA5 family, the MA2B is tough and reliable. It has electric targeting, an ammo supply indicator, and a recoil-reduction system. The MA2B can deliver an impressive 900 rounds per minute (or fifteen rounds per second) and uses .390 caliber ammunition.

In addition to the standard armor-piercing rounds found in most human firearms, the MA2B can utilize Shredder rounds: anti-personnel ammunition type made from depleted uranium.

The SPARTAN-IIs used the MA2B when they were required to carry very little ordnance for a mission. Blue Team used MA2Bs on their first combat mission to capture Colonel Robert Watts of the United Rebel Front.
