So in Halo, why do the rifles mainly come in bullpup designs? The Assasult Rifle (H:CE,3,Reach), Battle Rifle (H2,3), and the DMR(Reach). Was there ever any concepts of rifles that weren't a bullpup design? Excluding the sniper rifle of course. I have no problem with it, but it's pretty interesting that almost all the rifles are designed like that. I like the SMG (H2,3) concept too, it's small, caseless. And the shotgun....well it's a shotgun. What do you think of Halo's human weapons?
