To end the endless posts about what each new weapon does I hjave compiled a list of each new weapon and a overview of each... enjoy!
Human weapons:
Sub-Machine Gun
The SMG fires Cal 5x23mm MF/caseless ammunition. It's fire rate is very high, but accuracy is decreased significantly at long range. It is issued with an extendable stock so a Marine can weild two at once if necessary. An optional feature is an extendable silencer for the barrel, though accuracy is even futher decreased when in use.When using two SMGs at once, recoil is more difficult to compensate, and it is easy to let your aim drift too high.
HA871 Battle Rifle
The battle rifle is a modified assault rifle with an extended barrel and has it's ammo computer replaced by a small 2X smart-linked scope. It fires KAT 9.5x40mm ammunition and is extremely accurate at all ranges.
C-7 Foaming explosive
C-7 foaming spray is a highly explosive compound that is used in demolitions. It is comprised of various chemicals that react to a signal electro shocks administered through a detonator stick. It is liquid in vacuum, but once contact with a hard surface and oxygen occurs, it becomes a foaming, semi-solid adhesive resin.
Covenant weapons:
Brute Grenade Launcher
Very little is known about this weapon, only that the Covenant Brutes seem to favor this weapon to others. It seems to fire some kind of energy grenade at very high velocities. It also has a very sharp blade on the underside of it that seems to be used as a melee weapon.
Plasma Sword
The Plasma sword is a very dangerous weapon used by gold Elites, black Spec Op Elites, and gray infiltrator Elites. The sword's plasma energy is held into a blade-like form with small magnetic field generators built into the handle mechanism. This is a smaller version of the Covenant's Capital Ship plasma weapon technology which uses massive generators to stabilize, contain, and guide the plasma without interfering with the plasma's effects. If the wielder drops the weapon a failsafe activates and deactivates the magnetic field without first dispensing the plasma consuming the handle thus destroying the weapon.
Carbine
This weapon has recently been seen in the hands of Elites and Jackals. Little is known about it except that it has a zoom mode for medium-to-long-range engagements. However, because the weapon's fire rate is higher than would be expected for a weapon of its size and class, it is also very effective in close quarters.
