Most of this article seems to be devoted to comparing the muzzle energies of real life weaponry and ammunition to the damages to characters in Halo. For one, no accurate comparison can be made as the weapon damages in the game are ''purely'' for gameplay balance. The already inaccurate comparisons are made worse that there is no accounting made for headshot modifiers, etc. etc. I do not have time to change this now but will do so later. Anyone who is willing to do it before then is welcome. | |||

Note on Ammunition Cartrage Designations:
The second number in a cartrage designation does not necessarily indicate it's length. For some rounds it is the bullet wieght, or powder charge as in the 45-70 a US service cartrage from the late 19th century and for some like the 30-'06 it stands for the year of its military adoption 1906 and some cartrages have no second number like the 308 Winchester (7.62 Nato) or the 45ACP. It can also be just a naming nod to the origins of the round like the 7mm-08 Remington that was originally a wildcat cartrage made from 308 Winchester brass. Also there are lots of rifle cartrages that exceed 9mm even the above mentioned 45-70. Dagger133 01:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
