if you fire a 3-shot burst and it hits the head will your enemy die?

Maybe after a couple bursts, not just one though.

If you got the 3 round burst shot and all 3 went into the head, I would have to say that would be a death blow, considering they want to try and make the game realistic.

Not that hard to do a double tap-single like the military does (Two to the chest, one to the head)

So maybe in one burst and a half.

I have a feeling it will be very hard to get all 3 to hit the head, but maybe as you first shoot it and pan up on your reticle maybe the third could get to the head. I thought I read the battle rifle bullets are stonger then Halo 1 pistol bullets...isnt that right?

is it just me, or in this years E3 it takes more burst shots than scope shots to break the wing off a ghost-?

yes because its more accurate in scope mode thus more bullets hit the ghost wing and its probably stronger scoped too

when he shot burst he missed the wing and hit the main part of the ghost when he zoomed in he hit the wing of the ghost

but why would it be stronger in scope - same bullets
maybe it has something to do with where the wing was shot, i read that damage is area specific-
(hmm, i wonder where the fuel tank on a 'hog is [c0cks sniper rifle])

No, it is not. It is a 9.75, not a 12.5. Meanining it is not a .50 cal. It is in between the MA5B's strength and the M6D.

I'll be on my own side.

it depends on what you hit with a 3-round burst. a Grunt will be dead with one shot, a Jackal will probably die from a 3-round burst to the head,it will probably take a few more bursts to penetrate an Elite's shield,and i dont know about Brutes and Hunters

it cant be .50 cal because it would have to be much bigger and probably wouldnt be able to shoot in 3 round bursts. it works on handguns and sniper rifles because those guns are semi-auto
