The '''MA2B Individual Combat Weapon System''' is a firearm used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] that is part of [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[MA Series]]. In function, it is essentially a cut-down version of UNSC's standard-issue [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System]]. It sees sparse service among [[UNSC Special Forces]] units.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/featured/gallery/assault-rifle/7b27101b-fec7-41d9-9fe3-c4dcc04f01b1 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Assault Rifle'']</ref> | The '''MA2B Individual Combat Weapon System''' is a firearm used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] that is part of [[Misriah Armory]]'s [[MA Series]].

Like the other models of the MA series, the MA2B is tough and reliable. It has electric targeting, an ammo supply indicator, and a recoil-reduction system. The MA2B can fire 900 rounds per minute (fifteen rounds per second) and uses [[.390|.390 caliber ammunition]], which is considerably larger than the [[7.62x51mm NATO|7.62mm round]] used by the [[MA5 Series]].<ref name="TFoR" | Like the other models of the MA series, the MA2B is tough and reliable.

In addition to the standard armor-piercing rounds found in most [[human]] firearms, the MA2B can utilize [[shredder round]]s: an anti-personnel ammunition type made from depleted uranium.<ref name="TFoR"/> | In addition to the standard armor-piercing rounds found in most [[human]] firearms, the MA2B can utilize [[shredder round]]s: an anti-personnel ammunition type made from depleted uranium.<ref name="TFoR"/> | ||

In the first three issues of ''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp'', the MA2B resembles the weapon pictured on the cover of Issue 4. However, in Issue 4, the MA2B resembles the [[MA5K Carbine]] due to its straighter carrying handle and larger barrel. In some panels in Issue 4, [[John-117]]'s MA2B appears to be much longer than in other panels, making it look almost identical to the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]]. | *In the first three issues of ''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp'', the MA2B resembles the weapon pictured on the cover of Issue 4.
