==Biography==
Shortly after John-117 arrived at Cairo Station, the [[Master Gunnery Sergeant (rank)|Master Gunnery Sergeant]] fitted him with the Mark VI armor that [[Maria-062]] had [[Armor Testing|tested earlier]]. The Master Gunnery Sergeant also briefed the Master Chief on the [[Energy shielding|shields]] of the new armor. The Sergeant was initially annoyed with how much damage the Chief's old [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V armor]] had taken, but then decided it was all obsolete anyway. He was also curious about how Sergeant Major [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] managed to survive the [[Battle of Installation 04]], but Johnson told him it was "classified". As a result, the Gunnery Sergeant replied that Johnson could forget the adjustments to his [[A2 scope]] he had asked the Gunnery Sergeant to make.
Some time after John-117 arrived at ''Cairo Station'', the [[Master Gunnery Sergeant]] fitted him with the Mark VI armor that [[Maria-062]] had [[Armor Testing|tested earlier]].

The Master Gunnery Sergeant also briefed the Master Chief on the [[Energy shielding|shields]] of the new armor. After testing the armor's energy shielding, Sergeant Major [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] arrived at the armory to lead John-117 to the ceremony held in the orbital platform's [[bridge]]. When the Master Gunnery Sergeant asked how Johnson survived the Battle of Installation 04, Johnson told him it was "classified". As a result, the Gunnery Sergeant replied that Johnson could forget the adjustments to his [[A2 scope]] he had asked the Gunnery Sergeant to make.<ref name="arm"/>


Later, he was killed when [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces [[Battle of Earth|invaded]] the station. Two [[Sangheili]] entered his armory and fired upon him, and he returned fire with a shotgun.  John-117, on his way to find the Covenant bomb, entered the armory just in time to see the Sergeant killed by plasma fire. Though unable to save the Master Gunnery Sergeant, John-117 swiftly avenged his death.

Two [[Sangheili]] entered his armory and fired upon him, and he returned fire with a [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]].  John-117, on his way to find the Covenant [[Antimatter charge|bomb]] located elsewhere on the station, entered the armory just in time to see the Sergeant killed by plasma fire.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*There has been some confusion regarding this character's name and rank. In the level The Armory, he is referred to as "Master Guns" by Sergeant Major Johnson. Many interpreted this as him being a [[Master Sergeant]] with the last name "Guns". However, "Master Guns" is an informal address for a Master Gunnery Sergeant, and the character's name is not known. In articles he is often referred to as the unnamed Master Gunnery Sergeant, the Armory's Master Gunnery Sergeant, or "Master Guns" (only if a direct quote from the game). This also might just be a way of Johnson to say "master of the armory."

*If the player waits underneath the Armory away from the stairs before entering it, the Gunnery Sergeant is invincible. He will hold off the two Covenant Elites, but he cannot kill them and will die as soon as the player enters the Armory. On Legendary, one can wait as he takes down the Elite's shield before going up and engaging them.

*It is possible he was the last known human to see John-117's face as of yet. Throughout ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' we never see him remove his helmet. However, there have been breaks of time where the Chief could have taken off his helmet unseen by the player, such as between several levels.

*On rare occasion if you move fast enough, you can kill the Elites and save the Master Gunnery Sergeant. This accomplishes little, though, as he does not move.
