 When fired in short bursts to increase accuracy, the assault rifle is effective at killing unshielded opponents and weaker enemies (especially when they are in larger groups) at short-to-medium range. This includes [[Covenant]] [[Grunts]], [[Jackals]] (only when shield is down or when shooting their flank), and all variety of [[Flood]]. The assault rifle is also effective for destroying [[Banshee]]s, [[Ghosts]], and other Covenant vehicles (Campaign only). It is highly effective against Stealth [[Elites]] who attack with [[active camouflage]]. Aside from being able to quickly cut down these unshielded Elites, the high rate of fire disrupts their camouflage and makes it very easy to center on them for a quick finish. Also, if needed, the high rate of fire and the high ammo capacity allows players to spray the whole area with suppression fire.
 As an added bonus, the gun gives the player an at-a-glance ammo count on its digital readout, as well as an arrow pointing toward the gas giant [[Threshold]] (which acts as a compass).
-The 60-Round magazine size is a bonus as it aids to mow down any unshielded Elites, Grunts, Jackals, or Flood which get in its way. The weapon also has the second fastest melee attack in the game, so you can unleash a heavy burst on an Elite, then melee attack him until you're splattered with purple "gloop". And yes, this also moderately effective against shielded opponents. The actual effect of the weapon depends on the difficulty setting in the game. On easy, the weapon can easily take down a shielded Elite in less than a full clip. However on basically any other setting the weapon is nearly useless against shielded enemies, and functions primarily as a Grunt and Flood infection form killer.
