Description
The MA2B Assault Rifle is a cut-down version of the standard MA5B Assault Rifle. 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 fifteen rounds per second and uses .390 caliber ammunition.[1]
The Spartans were know to carry this weapon into action, usually when they were required to carry very little ordnance for a mission e.g. John used an MA2B Assault Rifle on his very first real mission, the attempt to captureColonel Robert Watts of the Eridanus Rebels.
One of the probable reasons that the Spartans chose the MA2B over the MA5B for missions is because of the weapon's larger magazine size, a feature which allows the user to mazimize his ammo-carrying capacity without the need to carry excess bulky magazine.
Since the MA2B uses the rare, and therefore largely incompatible .39 Caliber round, it prevented the user from aquiring new ammo from fallen foes with ease.
