It is | The VK78 fires 6.5 mm rounds on automatic, and is fitted via rail-mounting with a [[recon sight]]-style optic that can magnify up to at least 2x. It is distinctive among human rifles in that it does not share the common bullpup configuration of weapons like the [[MA40 assault rifle]] and [[BR75 battle rifle]], in which the magazine is inserted behind the trigger. Instead, the magazine well is located at an angle directly in front of the trigger guard.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}} The design of the weapon emphasizes ergonomics and reliability.{{Ref/Site|Id=monster|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/08/31/xbox-monster-energy-promotion/|Site=Xbox Wire|Page=Bank Now, Play Later: Halo Infinite Meets Monster Energy Global Partnership|D=31|M=8|Y=2020}} The VK78's charging handle is positioned on the left side of its body, just behind a side-mounted ammunition counter. Above the pistol grip is a fire selector dial, with two markings, the former of which is a row of red dots (presumably indicating fully-automatic) and the latter of which is a single white dot (potentially safe or semi-automatic). The weapon features numerous markings, including serial numbers, caliber specifications on the body and bolt carrier, and a small UNSC emblem atop a wedge-like protrusion in front of the top-mounted rail, behind the barrel. The VK78 used in 2560 features a matte black, grey and olive drab finish, with a prominent white strip across the weapon's front end.{{Ref/Reuse|HICGP}} | ||
