    Cheers to GeneralKidd for getting me modded CE campaign map files with the Flamethrower, check him out here!: / generalkidd
    Combat Evolved season is still very much upon us, and so, to celebrate the re-re-return of this comfy, atmospheric masterpiece of a game, I thought we'd take a look at the lore behind ALL the Halo CE UNSC weapons and vehicles! Originally, I was going to cover all the Covenant weapons and vehicles in this video as well, but it ended up being faaaaaaaar too long, so that video will be coming out this Thursday. So, in the meantime, let's dive into the UNSC's Alpha Halo arsenal!

      Brits don't like using French words (per my old man, who is British), so they say suflet (soo-flet), beret (Beh-ret) and sabot (say-bot). It's not necessarily wrong either way, loads of languages have multiple pronunciations for the same word. If you say say-boh, technically you're speaking French, but if you say say-bot, you're speaking English. Weird, innit? But not wrong necessarily.

The Forerunners also have far more advanced/powerful weapons than the weapons that can easily kill demons. Forerunner ship weaponry is likely 1000(or more) times stronger than any BFG.

Now at the moment, those 8 year old ps4 bastards too young to remember the Cheif in his prime have given Kratos the slight lead in the semi-finals where the top 2 in each poll go though meaning Chief is behind.

    Great summary of UNSC gear.
    Some facts and trivia as it relates to the real world:
    1:48 The M6D's 12.7x40mm round's case is exactly 7mm longer than the Desert Eagle's 12.7x33mm (.50AE) round, which was the most powerful production handgun cartridge in 2001 when Halo CE released. This is one of Bungie's most obscure 7 references.
    3:30 Only half of these rifles fire the same round.
    SCAR - H: 7.62.51mm (Same as MA5B)
    FAL: 7.62x51mm (Same as MA5B)
    BAR: 7.62x63mm (.30-06)
    SVT-40: 7.62x54mmR
    The MA5B bears a resemblance to the FN F2000 assault rifle, but that is supposedly a coincidence.
    The SRS99 series sniper rifles were heavily inspired by the Denel NTW-20, which has a variant chambered in 14.5x114mm.
    The M41 LAAG is almost a direct copy of the US military's GAU-19, but with half the rate of fire.

    I'll give you something, I know there aren't a lot of well versed gun-loving Brits (Maybe except my dad and a few others), but your examination of each weapon is quite detailed! For someone as knowledged as myself in the subject, this kind of speaking is like being an adult and listening to a ten year old talk (gas operated, 900 rounds per minute), but when most people talking about guns talk like 2 year olds (Trigger, "clip", "end of the gun) in the subject, what a refresher that is!
    All I have to say though, the 7.62x51 NATO is indeed used in the FAL and SCAR, but not in the SVT-40 (7.62x54R) or BAR (7.62x63, more commonly known as .30-06/Thirty-aught-six). Still, doesn't take away from how much work you put into it, and I LOVE that you used real world examples.
    Oh, and it probably would have been good to mention that the 12.7x40mm the M5D Magnum is chambered in is basically the equivalent of putting a .50 caliber projectile (half an inch in diameter, same thickness as Barrett .50 but not length) in a 7.62x39 (AK47) cartridge case. ;)
    I have to admit though, most of the gun designs are utter disasters lol. Like the AR having huge spread and bad accuracy, like the whole point of a bullpup is to get more accuracy and less spread with a shorter gun! Or like the DMR from later games, where the gas tube is BELOW the barrel like an M1, thus increasing muzzle flip and general recoil because the barrel axis is higher up. I'd like to talk to the guys at Misriah and beat them over the head with an F2000 so it gets ingrained in their skulls how to do a bullpup right!

      Thanks man! I consider myself well and truly a gun nut too, so for what it's worth you two aren't the only brits like that haha. Still learning though, for sure, so thanks for the corrections!
      Regarding the inaccuracies, yeah I always wondered that about the AR too. The literal point of making a rifle bullpup is to allow for an increased barrel length and thus more accuracy, so why does it spread like a mofo past 10 meters? lmfao game balance is a weird thing. And speaking about the F2000, did you ever hear the funny story about the MA5B and F2000?
      The artist at Bungie who designed the MA5B (totally forgetting his name rn, my b) never even knew FN created the F2000, it was only when he'd finished the design someone came over and said it looked like one. What a strange coincidence...

      I’d argue the the Halcyons were obsolete. The only reason the Pillar of Autumn was so good is because it was chosen for a mission to attack High Charity and so was given tons of upgrades not found in the original Halcyons. In fact the Pillar of Autumns upgrades are the basis for the UNSCs newest cruiser line, the Autumn class.

    6:18 - Which actually makes it one of the most realistic and well done shotguns in the Halo games. Whereas in the sequels that shotgun is just made into a one-hit-kill weapon up to a certain range and then basically starts tickling your enemy (or the shot disappears entirely), real world shotguns using buckshot (especially something as ridiculous as an 8 gauge) can easily send out shot and still be effective out to 100 meters/yards. The only issue at that range is the shot spread opening up, which is why shotguns also have chokes available to help narrow and contain the shot. Most games tend to do a horrible job with shotguns and either don't know any better or do it "for balance reasons." I've yet to see any game handle shotguns and armor effectively. Most body armor is going to be able to handle buckshot (although soft armor without a trauma plate is going to be horrific on you, you'll still survive... usually). Slugs are... well... a different monster altogether. Even if the vest does stop it, soft or with a trauma plate, you might still be killed just by the blunt force trauma. Never underestimate what shotgun slugs are capable of. But, realistically, that means that shotguns should be at a disadvantage against people with body armor, but rarely is that ever the case (and to be fair most submachine guns should be as well, which obviously means most handguns too). So it'd be interesting to see where you have to hit where there isn't any armor. Could be you have to empty your shotgun just to down one person in-game whereas other times you get lucky and have a headshot and drop them with one shot at 75 meters no less. Probably why no developer wants to touch that...

      Honestly, it can spew copious amounts of lead and damage down a corridor. It's not _meant_ to be the killing blow, true, more of a crowd control/suppressing fire weapon in the sandbox, but it can slaughter just as well as any other automatic. I'd rather have the CE AR over the SMG or later ARs any day for my Halo games, if I have to grab a full-auto human weapon. The precision weapons are better on every front, as the sandbox is built around them in the Bungie games (CE Pistol, 2, 3, and ODST BR, and Reach DMR), but in the situations where they shine the CE AR is my personal favorite of the full-autos.

    Funfact: the Halo CE shotgun is the closest thing you will have in a videogame to shooting a real shotgun. Even though shotties application is mainly close quarters, due to it's highly destructive power, at long range is a very effective weapon.
    Shame that in Halo 2 it became with less reach than the plasma sword.
