I was looking at the renders of the Battle Rifle in the Halo2 section to answer a previous post about a supposed new human weapon (turns out to be sniper rifle). The thought occured to me; how would you load the rifle? You don't put the clip before the trigger because in all the demos and pictures, thats where you put your left hand when firing with your right...its not behind the trigger, because its the butt of the weapon against your shoulder. If you look closely at the renders, especially the closeup of the Battle Rifle scope, you see a bolt to manually remove rounds - thats usually the area where the rounds are fed to the firing chamber - but thats where the trigger and the handle is and I don't think thats where you put the magazine...

Any thoughts?

that also explains why the cocking lever is farther back than on most guns. the clip is inside the stock of the gun.

just in case people in here didnt know...the Battle Rifle actually exists today...maybe not the exact model, but the basic setup of the gun.

What the hell are u talking about!! Maybe I didn't read it well but that didn't make much sense to me but if u seen the E3 2003 Demo Video a million times like everyone here u would know how it reloads Master Cheif got the clip out it out and then got a new one and put it in. He didn't pull anything back like the Assualt Rifle he just put it in and fired.

You definately didn't read well solidsnake12345...did I mention anything about the E3 2003 demo in my first post? No. But AFTER i looked at it AGAIN I saw it, thanks to the help of some nice people on these forums. So calm down, I know now, so don't get your panties in a bunch.

Thanks for the help folks.
