Anyway, I like the MA37 more than the MA5C, but the MA5B reigns supreme.

Reach's AR is an excellent weapon if used correctly. [Edited on 02.07.2011 1:04 AM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] diesel93 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] haloplayer2kill Although the MA5B is the best AR, out of a choice between the MA5C and MA37...the MA5C is BETTER. Let me explain. The MA37 rounds are weaker then the MA5C, therefore it takes more rounds to kill the enemy, it also shoots slower to then the MA5C. This may be effective when burst firing in mid range, but its not very effective in close quarter combat, where the AR is used most. The ONLY small advantage that the MA37 has over the MA5C is that it is slightly more accurate when firing in bursts. BUT, that difference really isn't all that great when the rounds you are using are weaker then the MA5C. I had an easier time killing covenant with the MA5C (although i would prefer my trusty MA5B) then i did with the MA37, even though both had a 32 round mag (not clip). I don't want to think how the MA37 would preform against the flood, *shudders*.[/quote] The MA37 and MA5C have the same caliber rounds used, 7.62 AP rounds. What makes the MA5C more damage? I'm talking as if it came down to it in a real life scenario and not game. The only way I can see the MA5C doing more damage is the barrel length. From Halopedia This can easily be explained through ballistics. It is likely that the MA37 has a shorter barrel then the M392, and thus the bullet is unable to use all of the propellant gases from the cartridge before exiting the barrel. This results in a lower velocity round/less power and decreased accuracy both of which seem to be trademarks of the MA37. This is the same reason why the modern day M16A4 has better accuracy, ballistics and wound characteristics than the M4 carbine despite using the same round. This decrease in power could also be explained by the location of the gas piston that drains the gases from the barrel to operate the cycling of the bolt mechanism. [/quote] I meant the MA5C dished more damage in gameplay mechanics. It takes less rounds from the MA5C to kill a Spartan in multiplayer while it takes more rounds to kill a Spartan in multiplayer with the MA37.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HipiO7 I'd pick the Armies variant, but my favorite Assault Rifle is the one issued to the Spartan III's, the MA5K. The cutdown version of the MA5B.[/quote]To be technical, the MA5K is a Carbine.

I'd take Reach's assault rifle.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MegaMuffin16 The MA5B is my favorite.[/quote] he's talking the C variant fellas. I prefer the Army's groundpounder. the damn thing looks like it's built like a sledgehammer! plus the roar she makes... that's one hell of a service rifle if you ask me.

The MA5B is my favorite.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] diesel93 This is not for gameplay. Just to let you know. So after looking at Halopedia and all of that I was intrigued to say the least. Evidence the MA37 was really a MA5C but with a different designation was odd. Now looking at the two rifles they almost everything similiar except the body and cosmetics. So if it came down to it, which rifle you be better or just a simple preference?[/quote] They have the exact same ammunition, I would prefer the MA5B any day with such a large clip.
