Carrots.

I think the Battle Rifle is really just a modified FAMAS rifle. If you look at the two, they're very similar, right down to the scope. If you don't know what a famas is, clicky

If you look at a battle rifle and it's shape, you can instantly notice some similarities between the two. Let me just point some out, some of which are not very visible details.

Similarities
-The space in the top of the guns
-Their scopes look very similar (Famas infenterie)
-The way the barrel extends out of the rest of the gun.
-They both use the bullpup configuration.
-Are both capable of using three round bursts.
-Both have foregrip in the same palce with the same groove patern.

differences
The FAMAS is totally ambidextrous. The BR has a bolt and hopup control on it's side.
The FAMAS has the hopup in the middle and no bolt.
The FAMAS does not tell you how much ammo you have.


Im SURE I didn't get all the differences and similarities. if you have somne, please show me.
What do you think?

It's more of an FAMAS / AUG-Styr mix.

Bungie made this weapon as down to earth and realistic as possible despite it being over 500 years in the future to appease the pistol haters from Halo CE so I wasn't surprised that it looks nearly identical down to the color of weapons used today.

Who here thinks they should make a uber powerful Grunt Plasma Rifle thats shoots out naked flaming Chuck Norrises?

The famas G2 is a pretty good weapon in rainbow six 3 as well =)

Maybe when designing the BR, the modelers used the FAMAS look and Aug concept.

RIP Halo 2.

Yeah, it's obviously based off of the FAMAS, but there's quite a few differences. The MA5B and MA5C loosely resemble the FN2000.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

Ya Bungie model a lot of their guns from real guns. The Sniper Rifle is a remodel of a real Sniper.

Yeah. And for some reason, I think the Assult Rifle from Halo 1 looks like a heavily modified P-90.

Because you are what you eat, and you know what it is.

It's similar, but its not ambidextrous.
