Weapon Designs
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?

But my guess is that in reality Bullpup guns can be lighter and have longer barrels for the same weight, so they'd use them. I guess after that it's just keeping a consistent design style. I liked the UNSC guns, realistic modern looking with that hint of futuristic look. Although some versions that never made it in looked nice.

Would love to see marines in Halo like that.
