There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

No it most certainly does not behave consistently. You can literally four shot someone in one scenario, and in the exact same situation some other time – literally every variable is the same - you will have to five or six shot them. That is not consistent. And it does happen. This is not opinion, this randomness is fact. I know the spread is going to happen, obviously, I just don't know where the bullets are going to go and the fact that there's lead means that the results can and more than just rarely are.The underlined portion is an assumption. You mean every variable you can control. The random spread accounts for variables you cannot see or control. It could be attributed to the recoil, the wind, gravity, whatever you like.
Well exactly! There is little to no realism in the Halo 3 universe. Plasma weaponry, Spartan supersoldiers, alien rings in the sky that will wipe out every sentient being in the galaxy. Those are not realistic. Just like how the Battle Rifle isn't, and shouldn't, not to mention that Bungie even stated that the Battle Rifle wasn't made that way for supposed realism but balance:

...The BR is like it is not because of realism, but because it IS a game, and weapons are generally given disadvantages to offset their strengths. I.E., the BR is supposed to have a spread like that to prevent it from being all powerful.
And in my opinion uncontrollable randomness is a bad way to balance a game. Yes I know it's my opinion, not fact.Yes, the game designers purpose was to balance the game. I’ve acknowledged this. My argument has always been that they way in which they did this was to approximate its real life counterpart which has a spread of rounds due in large part to the rapid fire and recoil. It is not a perfect replica, but a representation in the game. And, it works.
I guess you must think that the sky, mountains around Valhalla, dunes around Sandtrap, hills outside Standoff, etc., are a waste of resources, then. Oh well, To each his own.I love the backgrounds and scenery. But, if you’re going to add wind, rain, snow, or whatever, it might as well impact the battlefield or it is wasted energy. I’ll drop this as it is getting far off track.
