When fired in short bursts to increase accuracy, the assault rifle is effective at killing unshielded opponents, and is especially useful for killing large groups of weak enemies. This includes [[Covenant]] [[grunts]] and all variety of [[Flood]]. The assault rifle is also effective for destroying [[Banshee]]s, [[Ghost]]s, and other [[Covenant]] vehicles. As an added bonus, the gun gives the player an at-a-glance ammo count on its digital readout, as well as an arrow pointing toward the gas giant [[Threshold]] (which acts as a kind of compass). It should be noted that aiming an assault rifle is likely odd, since the ammo counter is in the way of the sight. | When fired in short bursts to increase accuracy, the assault rifle is effective at killing unshielded opponents, and is especially useful for killing large groups of weak enemies.

The assault rifle is also highly effective against Elite Rangers who attack with active camouflage. Aside from quickly penetrating their weak shielding (if they have any at all), the high rate of fire easily reveals these enemies by disrupting their camouflage and makes them easy targets. | |||
