Template:Ratings Template:Weapon 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.[1]
Background
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 caliber ammunition.[2]
In addition to the standard armor-piercing rounds found in most human firearms, the MA2B can utilize shredder rounds: an anti-personnel ammunition type made from depleted uranium.[2]
The SPARTAN-IIs used MA2Bs when they were required to carry very little ordnance for a mission. Blue Team used MA2Bs on their first combat mission to capture Colonel Robert Watts of the United Rebel Front.[2]
