The MA5C Assault rifle is a new version of the MA5B [[Assault Rifle]] seen in halo 1, and will be the new "starting weapon" in Halo 3. Its retooling includes higher accuracy, a 32 round magazine. Headshots are still difficult, If not impossible with the MA5C and the weapon is not dual wieldable. This new weapon can be seen in the Halo 3 trailer.
The MA5C Assault rifle is a new version of the MA5B [[Assault Rifle]] seen in Halo 1, and will be the new default weapon in Halo 3. Its retooling makes it a much more accurate and deadly weapon than its predecessor at the cost of a smaller, 32 round magazine. It uses the same style of on-board computer system as the MA5B to provide the user with an active ammo counter and a digital compass for navigation. The MA5C does the same amount of damage in-game for headshots as bodyshots (meaning that performing consecutive headshots will not grant an advantage in multiplayer), and the weapon is not dual wieldable. This new weapon can be seen in the Halo 3 trailer.
