The 12. | The 12.7×99mm rounds is capable of exerting upwards of five times as much damage as the 7.62×51mm rounds used in the MA5 series of assault rifles, and the M41 is a relatively accurate example of its power compared to the smaller 7.62mm round.<ref group="note">This was only evident in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', as damage per-hit in ''[[Halo 2]]'' was dramatically less powerful. To balance this out, the rate of fire on the M41 was increased to roughly 900 rounds per-minute, and accuracy was increased significantly from the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' version.</ref> | ||
