The '''MA2B Assault Rifle''' is a cut-down version of the standard [[MA5B]] [[Assault Rifle]]. 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. The [[Spartans]] used these weapons periodically when they were required to carry very little ordnance for a mission. In fact, [[John]] used an MA2B Assault Rifle on his very first real mission. They used these rifles first when capturing [[Colonel Robert Watts]] of the [[Eridanus Rebels]]. | The '''MA2B Assault Rifle''' is a cut-down version of the standard [[MA5B]] [[Assault Rifle]].

Sam was seen loading a extended magazine into the receiver. This means that they could carry more ammo with less magazines. This was important, as too many magazines would clink together and would alert the security forces. Since it uses the smaller .39 Caliber round, it would have been incompatible with any ammo they would have picked up. The only reason they may have used it is because it would allow them to go for longer periods without reloading. | ||
