The MA40 Longshot is a modified variant of the MA40 assault rifle used by the UNSC Marine Corps.[2][5]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: MA40 assault rifle
The Longshot variant of the MA40 assault rifle has increased precision capabilities, raising its performance at long-range.[4] It has additional yellow coloration on certain components, including the ammunition counter, the charging handle, and the magazine. Despite the name and increased ranged performance, the rifle does not appear to employ a Longshot sight.[6]
Usage[edit]
The MA40 Longshot was employed by UNSC forces during the campaign on Installation 07 in 2559-2560.[2]
In-game information[edit]
In campaign, the MA40 Longshot is a legendary weapon awarded to the player in the Forward Operating Base progression system upon reaching 2,300 Valor. The weapon can then be acquired at any Forward Operating Base. It has a reduced magazine size from 36 to 25, though it has increased accuracy, much greater damage (killing a fully-shielded Spartan with 15 rounds instead of 20 rounds), and is capable of dealing headshot damage.[2]
In multiplayer, when players pick up or spawn with the MA40 Longshot, their customization options are automatically applied to the weapon model, and the unique appearance of the MA40 Longshot is lost.
