When fired in short bursts to increase accuracy, the assault rifle is effective at killing unshielded opponents, and is especially useful for killing large groups of weak enemies. This includes [[Covenant]] [[grunts]] and all variety of [[Flood]]. The assault rifle is also effective for destroying [[Banshee]]s, [[Ghost]]s, and other [[Covenant]] vehicles. As an added bonus, the gun gives the player an at-a-glance ammo count on its digital readout, as well as an arrow pointing toward the gas giant [[Threshold]] (which acts as a kind of compass). It should be noted that aiming an assault rifle is likely odd, since the ammo counter is in the way of the sight.
When fired in short bursts to increase accuracy, the assault rifle is effective at killing unshielded opponents and weaker enemies (especially when they are in larger groups) at short-to-medium range. This includes [[Covenant]] [[Grunts]], [[Jackals]] (only when shield is down or when shooting their flank), and all variety of [[Flood]]. The assault rifle is also effective for destroying [[Banshee]]s, [[Ghost]]s, and other [[Covenant]] vehicles (Campaign only). It is highly effective against Elite Rangers who attack with active camouflage. Aside from being able to quickly cut down these unshielded elites, the high rate of fire disrupts their camouflage and makes it very easy to center on them for a quick finish.
